in context.
Copper is an economic nerve ending. Construction, grids, manufacturing and Chinese demand turn the metal into a real-time growth signal.
Four signals to watch

Power grids
Electrification, data centers and grid investment raise long-term demand for conductive metal.
Mine supply
Permitting, ore quality and disruptions can constrain supply even when prices rise.
Global growth
Copper reacts quickly when factories, construction and capital spending accelerate or weaken.
