Copper supply saw a decline in the year 2017, majorly due to lack of significant output from new projects or expansions. No major supply disruptions had occurred in the year 2018; however, overall growth got impacted by lower output at some mines in Canada, and operational problems in some major exploring countries. With the recovery in various sectors, there has been an increase in the demand for commodities such as Copper, Iron Ore, etc. The copper price is expected to rise due to rise in demand and little supply concerns. It is expected that Cooper explorers will be benefited from the price rise. Letâs take a look at 3 Cooper stocks trading on ASX-
