XCU Live priceWhat is Copper
Copper is the leading industrial metal, used everywhere in construction, wiring, electronics and increasingly in electric vehicles and renewable energy.
Because it is so widely used, its price is treated as a barometer of the global economy, earning it the nickname "Dr Copper". It rises when growth is strong and falls when it slows.
Demand from China, the world’s biggest consumer, and supply from major mining countries are the key forces behind its price.
