Global production of critical metals is often concentrated in a few countries, and the amount recycled is usually low. Copper is a raw material that is needed in a wide range of industries. Whether in electric motors, energy storage, wires, cables, or electronic components, copper is always present. In addition to its use in the expansion of renewable energies or as a component of alloys, the reddish metal is also used in telecommunications, coin production, and jewelry.

Platinum is capable of catalysis, meaning it can convert pollutants. It is found in exhaust gas purification elements in vehicles and is used in fuel cells. Platinum is also a sought-after precious metal in jewelry manufacturing and the medical sector. Incidentally, less platinum was produced in 2024 than in the previous year. South Africa has the largest platinum reserves and is also considered the largest platinum producer.

Both platinum and copper are considered critical metals in the EU and the US. The price of platinum is around US$1,400 per ounce. The price of platinum reached a multi-year high of US$1,511 per ounce in July. At the current price, chart technicians see possible price targets of US$1,600 to US$1,700. Copper is priced at around US$10,000 per ton. Since both commodities are indispensable for modern technologies, prices are more likely to go up than down . It is therefore worth taking a look at the companies that own these commodities.
