Copper supply faces first annual decline since 2017 amid rising demand from AI and infrastructure growth.

Copper prices have surged due to a structural supply problem rather than U.S. tariff speculation. Global copper mine production fell 1.1% in the first half of 2026, with major producers like Chile experiencing their weakest output in nearly two decades. Discoveries of new copper deposits have drastically declined since the 1990s, and the cost and time to bring new mines online have increased significantly. Meanwhile, demand is rising sharply, driven by AI data centers and expanding electricity infrastructure, creating a potential supply shortfall in the coming years.
