Despite a slight improvement, production is still not close to the levels of a few years ago. Consumers are increasingly favouring this product as part of a healthy diet. However, this may mean that they will dig deeper into their wallets in the coming years.
Analysts predict a significant increase in demand for copper in the coming years as it plays a major role in a technology sector that is relentlessly racing ahead. Thanks to a combination of demand and weakened production from the world's largest suppliers, the price of the red metal on the London Metal Exchange (LME) has climbed to a 2-year high of almost US$10,000 per ton.* All signs point to this being an attractive investment opportunity.
Microsoft has announced a significant investment of $1.5 billion in Abu Dhabi-based technology firm G42 based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Taiwan's TSMC, one of the world's largest chipmakers, will receive a total of $11.6 billion in subsidies from the U.S. government to build factories and subsequent production on U.S. soil.
