The price of copper is expected to rise by over 75% by 2025, driven by supply disruptions and increased demand for the metal, largely due to the global shift towards renewable energy. What Happened: The increasing demand for copper, partially fueled by the global transition to green energy, is projected to drive up its price, CNBC reported on Wednesday. Factors such as potential U.S. Federal Reserve rate cuts, a weakened U.S. dollar, and the recent pledge by more than 60 nations at COP28 to triple global renewable energy capacity by 2030 are contributing to this forecast.
