YouTube short by Ganesh Komma (Jan 6, 2026) analyzing a recent ~60% copper price rally over six months. The creator attributes the rally to structural demand growth—citing the IEA projection of >30% higher copper demand by 2035 driven by EVs, renewables, AI data centers and infrastructure—and to constrained supply driven by long (10–15 year) mine expansion lead times implying a potential ~30% supply gap. The short outlines investment routes in India (MCX futures, Hindustan Copper stock, metal ETFs but no pure copper ETF) and warns about timing, substitution risk (aluminium), volatility, and geopolitics; concludes with a cautionary, non-advice stance encouraging further study.
