Key facts: BHP copper 51% of EBITDA; 'world's largest', Craig backs bolt-ons

Copper prices have reached record highs above $6.60 per pound, driven by supply disruptions and increased demand from AI-related infrastructure. The CPER ETF, which tracks copper futures, surged to $40.46, marking a 15.7% increase this year. The price of copper has risen approximately 75% since October 2023, with significant contributions from declining inventories in China and supply issues at major mines. China's exports also rose 14% in April, further tightening the copper market.

Copper Prices Hit Record High As AI Data Center Boom Fuels Global Supply Crunch, Pushing CPER ETF Higher

Australia's Treasurer Jim Chalmers stated that the country will avoid recession even if oil prices rise to $200 a barrel due to the ongoing Middle East conflict. He outlined a national budget that is significantly influenced by international events. Chalmers presented two economic scenarios: one where oil prices stabilize around $100, and a severe scenario with prices peaking at $200, leading to higher inflation and unemployment. Despite these challenges, Australia is better positioned than many countries to handle the crisis, benefiting from high commodity prices while also addressing low petrol reserves.
