Copper: what the data says

Tracks the price of copper, an industrial metal often nicknamed 'Dr. Copper' for its reputation as a leading indicator of global economic growth. Because it's used in nearly everything from construction to electronics to electrical wiring, its demand tends to rise when the global economy is expanding and fall during slowdowns. It's also a key component of the energy transition, essential for electric vehicles, solar panels, and power grids.
