How Copper Became a Geopolitical Flashpoint

from Geopolitics and Markets with Fexingo: Wars, Sanctions, and Economic Consequences · host Fexingo

Copper prices are surging as the world races to electrify everything. But the metal isn't just a commodity anymore — it's a geopolitical weapon. In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack why the US is struggling to secure copper supply chains, how Chile and Peru are rewriting the rules of mining investment, and what a proposed 'copper alliance' of producing countries could mean for global markets. They look at the numbers behind the energy transition's most overlooked bottleneck and ask whether the next OPEC will be made of copper miners, not oil drillers. #Copper #Geopolitics #EnergyTransition #SupplyChain #Mining #Chile #Peru #CriticalMinerals #OPEC #ElectricVehicles #RenewableEnergy #Infrastructure #TradePolicy #Economics #Commodities #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GeopoliticsAndMarkets Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
