The copper market could see an \u201cunprecedented\u201d inflow in the coming years as investors seek to profit from the metal\u2019s anticipated surge in value, driven by growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and renewable energy, according to Citigroup.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Bloomberg last week, Max Layton, Citi\u2019s managing director for commodities research, said he believes now is an ideal time for investors to buy, as the price of copper is still muted on global recession concerns. The red metal is currently trading around $8,300 a ton, down approximately 26% from its all-time high of nearly $11,300, set in October 2021.<\/p>\n

According to Layton, copper could top out at $15,000 a ton by 2025, a jump that would \u201cmake oil\u2019s 2008 bull run look like child\u2019s play.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citi also pointed out that copper may dip further in the short-term but could begin to rally in the next six to 12 months as the market fully recognizes the massive imbalance between supply and demand, a gap that\u2019s expected to widen as demand for EVs and renewables expands.<\/span><\/p>\n

Internal Combustion Vehicle Sales Set To Peak This Decade: BloombergNEF<\/strong><\/h2>\n

As I\u2019ve mentioned before, electric vehicles (EVs) require up to three times more copper compared to traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. This presents a challenge because the number of newly discovered copper deposits is decreasing, and the time it takes to go from discovery to production has been increasing due to rising costs. According to S&P Global, out of the 224 copper deposits found between 1990 and 2019, only 16 have been discovered in the last decade.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, EV sales continue to rise. Last year, these sales reached a total of 10.5 million, and projections by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (NEF) suggest that they could escalate to around 27 million by 2026. Bloomberg predicts that the global fleet of ICE vehicles will peak in as little as two years, after which the market will be dominated primarily by EVs and, to a lesser extent, hybrids. By 2030, EVs might constitute 44% of all passenger vehicle sales, and by 2040, three could account for three quarters of all vehicle sales.<\/p>\n

Tesla Stock Supported By String Of Positive News<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Tesla, which remains the world\u2019s largest EV manufacturer, has seen its stock increase over 100% year-to-date in 2023, making it the third best performer in the S&P 500, following NVIDIA (+166%) and Meta (120%). In fact, shares of Tesla have now fully recovered (and then some) from October 2022, when CEO Elon Musk purchased Twitter for $44 billion. This raised concerns among investors about Musk\u2019s ability to run the EV manufacturer while taking on a new, time-intensive project, not to mention also juggling SpaceX.<\/p>\n

Friday marked the 12th straight day that shares of Tesla have advanced, representing a remarkable winning streak that we haven\u2019t seen since January 2021.<\/p>\n

The Austin-based carmaker got a huge boost last week after it announced that its popular Model 3 now qualifies for a $7,500 EV consumer tax credit. This action means that in California, which applies its own $7,500 tax rebate for EV purchases, a brand new Tesla Model S is cheaper than a Toyota Camry.<\/p>\n

To qualify for the U.S. tax credit, Tesla had to make changes to how it sourced materials for its batteries in accordance with the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), signed into law in August 2022. The IRA stipulates that 40% of electric vehicle battery materials and components must be extracted or processed in the U.S. or in a country that has a free trade agreement with the U.S. This manufacturing threshold will increase annually, and by 2027, 80% of the battery must be produced in the U.S. or a partner country to qualify for the full rebate.<\/p>\n

Tesla stock also benefited from last Thursday\u2019s announcement that drivers of EVs made by rival General Motors (GM) would be able to use Tesla\u2019s North American supercharger network starting next year. The deal not only gives GM customers access to an additional 12,000 charging stations across the continent, but it also vastly increases Tesla\u2019s market share of the essential charging infrastructure.<\/p>\n

Musk\u2019s Copper Quest<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Thinking ahead, Musk reportedly met virtually last month with L. Oyun-Erdene, prime minister of Mongolia. The details of their discussion were not fully disclosed, but it\u2019s worth pointing out that Mongolia is a copper-rich country, home to the world\u2019s fourth-largest copper mine, operated jointly by Rio Tinto and the Mongolian government. In May, Rio Tinto announced that production had finally begun at the mine, which sits 1.3 kilometers (0.8 miles) below the Gobi Desert.<\/p>\n

With access to this copper, perhaps Tesla is planning to build a metals processing plant in Mongolia? This would make sense, as the company maintains a factory in Shanghai, China.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
