Copper Prices May Hit Record Highs by 2026

Copper prices are going up a lot because people need more of it for things like electricity and computers.

Some experts think it could get even more expensive by 2026.

The United States is keeping a lot of copper, which makes it harder to get in other countries.

This is making the price go up even more.

Some people think the price could reach $15,000 per ton, which is a lot higher than it is now.

But others think it might not get that high.

Either way, it's going to be more expensive, which could make some things that use copper, like electricity, more expensive too.
