El súperciclo del cobre será brutal — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Prepare for takeoff. There are many
- 0:02long-term arguments that could pave a
- 0:05path to the moon for an asset we've
- 0:07been talking about on the channel for a
- 0:10long time: copper. But it's not just
- 0:14copper; businesses linked to it could
- 0:17also experience a major rally if this
- 0:19thesis holds true. What are the
- 0:23fundamentals behind all of this? And if
- 0:26it really is about to explode, I'm
- 0:28going to commit to one specific company
- 0:30that I also talked about in my premium
- 0:32newsletter. There's a special promotion
- 0:34these days that you have in the video
- 0:36description and in the pinned comment,
- 0:38with the link for you to take advantage
- 0:39of it right now; it's only active for a
- 0:41few days, so you know, it's down there.
- 0:44But as I say, let’s jump straight
- 0:46into this thesis, into copper, all the
- 0:48charts, and everything else we’re
- 0:51going to see next. I’m not biased,
- 0:58though I am like a broken record
- 1:00because I’ve been analyzing copper
- 1:02and its long-term explosion theory for
- 1:05more than half a year. A theory that
- 1:09has solidified over the months, and a
- 1:11theory that also strengthens companies
- 1:13dedicated to copper mining. But of
- 1:17course, what are those fundamentals
- 1:18that could be triggered over these next
- 1:20few years? There are new charts that
- 1:23have come to light and, of course, the
- 1:26thesis that reinforces a specific miner
- 1:28I have in my portfolio and will talk
- 1:30about later, which, by the way, I’ve
- 1:32discussed in depth in a piece I’ll
- 1:34review with you soon. But that said,
- 1:38there are solid fundamentals suggesting
- 1:41that this movement has only just begun,
- 1:43looking toward 2030 and 2040.
- 1:47Positioning yourself now for the very
- 1:50long term can be truly spectacular,
- 1:52focusing on this specific metal and
- 1:54everything derived from it. Stay for
- 1:57this video, it’s going to be very
- 1:58interesting for you. But first, to
- 1:59support this analysis—now more than
- 2:01ever because YouTube's algorithms have
- 2:03changed—leave a like to support
- 2:05content creation. And of course,
- 2:07subscribe to the channel, hit the
- 2:09notification bell, and comment if you
- 2:11think copper is interesting; if you
- 2:13want me to analyze other metals or
- 2:15other industries, let me know in the
- 2:17comments, as I take that into account.
- 2:19Well, it's time to update this thesis
- 2:22and theory on where we are and where we
- 2:25are headed. There are several charts
- 2:29pointing to the direction the price
- 2:30could take in the long term, and it’s
- 2:32better to show them directly on screen.
- 2:35The first one is as follows. Look at
- 2:38the forecasts regarding copper demand
- 2:41between now and 2050. The volume of
- 2:46tons demanded between now and 2050 is
- 2:49expected to go straight to the moon. Do
- 2:53you see how brutal that is? We are at
- 2:56this point right now, and look at the
- 2:58entire distance we have to cover. In
- 3:02previous videos on the channel, we
- 3:04mentioned there was a spectacular
- 3:05bottleneck in copper. We have published
- 3:08many videos here, taking a positive
- 3:10stance on this metal. And we were
- 3:14precisely talking about stagnant supply
- 3:16and ever-increasing demand, as you see
- 3:19in this chart. And that, translated
- 3:22into plain English, means: lower supply
- 3:24, higher demand, pushing prices upward
- 3:27due to the law of supply and demand.
- 3:30Knowing that copper will be very
- 3:32volatile, that it will have bumps in
- 3:34the road, but that these bumps, if
- 3:36nothing changes, could be investment
- 3:39opportunities, not only in the resource
- 3:41itself (which they are), but also in
- 3:44companies related to it. But of course,
- 3:47the next question we can all ask
- 3:49ourselves is where that copper demand
- 3:51will be needed. We have to analyze
- 3:53everything in detail because, hey,
- 3:55maybe the AI forecasts will collapse.
- 3:57It won't all be artificial intelligence
- 3:59. Artificial intelligence is a plus for
- 4:01that copper demand, but above all, do
- 4:03you know where the main demand for
- 4:04copper comes from? It’s not just the
- 4:08artificial intelligence part, which
- 4:11will be scalable; as you can see in the
- 4:14next chart, the demand dedicated to the
- 4:17energy transition from 2025 to 2040
- 4:19won't double, but it will come very
- 4:22close to doubling. In the case of what
- 4:26is destined for artificial intelligence
- 4:28, defense, and data centers, it will
- 4:29double, as you can see here, but it is
- 4:31the smaller copper demand. The main one
- 4:35is general economic activity, which
- 4:37will follow an upward trend, as we have
- 4:39seen in other years, but the parts
- 4:41linked to energy transition, data
- 4:43centers, and defense will explode quite
- 4:45strongly. That's why on Wall Street
- 4:48they say, "Get ready for the rocket,
- 4:50thinking long-term." But we are going
- 4:52beyond this brutal demand that is
- 4:54needed. If we look back to 1900—and
- 4:56this chart from Capital Group seemed
- 4:59quite interesting regarding global
- 5:02copper demand—we see that since 1900,
- 5:05global copper consumption has expanded
- 5:07from less than 1 million tons to 28.4
- 5:10million tons today. And what does that
- 5:13global projection show? That this
- 5:15figure reaches 42.3 by 2040 and 53 by
- 5:192050. Do you know what all this
- 5:23represents? We need to mine as much
- 5:26copper in these years as in all of
- 5:29human history. It’s outrageous. And
- 5:33we are talking about China and APAC
- 5:36alone representing 60%of this demand
- 5:38growth. Driven also by the energy
- 5:41transition, as we say, and by the
- 5:43development of data centers. We have a
- 5:46fundamental theory before our eyes that
- 5:48I think is incredible and will be
- 5:50constantly tested, because when copper
- 5:52is seen falling 30 or 35%, there will
- 5:54be a lot of volatility associated with
- 5:56the price. There will be those who say,
- 5:59"This is over." Although in an economic
- 6:01recession, copper may plummet more than
- 6:0450%. And we will hear voices saying, "
- 6:07This is over, the thesis makes no sense
- 6:09." But it happens like with the stock
- 6:12market and when strong rallies activate
- 6:15, those drops do not exempt the
- 6:17long-term rally from continuing because
- 6:19there is a fundamental base that, if it
- 6:22doesn't go off track, is very strong
- 6:24for the asset itself, at least for the
- 6:27coming years. You always have to be
- 6:31open to the possibility that this might
- 6:33not pan out, but the cards we have on
- 6:35the table are quite clear. So, the next
- 6:40question, knowing all this context we
- 6:42have and that there is more than enough
- 6:45foundation to think there are chances
- 6:48of trending upward, how can it affect
- 6:50the mining business? And more
- 6:53specifically, how are copper miners
- 6:56trading right now in the markets? Are
- 6:58they a great opportunity? Well, as you
- 7:02can see in the following chart, in
- 7:05comparative terms with the S&P 500, we
- 7:08see copper miners starting to test key
- 7:11ceiling levels, as we saw in 2015, 2016
- 7:15, 2021, 2024, and now it seems the
- 7:18possibility of rebounding upwards is
- 7:21starting to take hold, to reach levels
- 7:24not seen since 2009. 2010 the
- 7:30possibility of starting to truly trend
- 7:32upwards, but this is not the only chart
- 7:34that reflects this from a technical
- 7:36point of view, because this is pricing
- 7:39on the technical level. On the other
- 7:43hand, there is the longer-term part and
- 7:47the part from 2024 to the present in
- 7:502026. What are copper miners
- 7:53technically plotting? Well, for example
- 7:56, copper versus copper miners that are
- 7:59lagging behind. Look at what a
- 8:02wonderful cup and handle pattern they
- 8:04are tracing. If this technical pattern
- 8:08is completed, there is a possibility of
- 8:10quite dizzying gains. Obviously, that
- 8:13pattern could reverse and fail to
- 8:15complete, but all roads, as we say here
- 8:18in Spain, lead to Rome. Well, there is
- 8:21this context that is pushing us quite
- 8:24clearly toward this asset class, and
- 8:27also, as Tabi Costa published, copper
- 8:31miners are at a key resistance level,
- 8:34just as it eventually solidified back
- 8:38in 2025. They are about to break
- 8:42through and surge upward. These are
- 8:45fundamental and technical factors to
- 8:47keep in mind, but you will also ask
- 8:49yourselves, what are their fundamentals
- 8:51? What is behind it? And which miners
- 8:54should one look at? We need to dig
- 8:55deeper into this, Hector, because it is
- 8:57not very clear to me. I see the copper
- 8:59thesis is very clear, the technical
- 9:00thesis for the miners as well, but the
- 9:02fundamental thesis, what is it
- 9:04presenting to us? Well, let me recap
- 9:07because I have been talking to you
- 9:09about this very thesis in my premium
- 9:11newsletter for over half a year, fully
- 9:13committing myself, discussing the
- 9:15entire fundamental thesis, the
- 9:17technical side, and which miners might
- 9:19be the most attractive. You only need
- 9:22to look at the post from, as you can
- 9:25see here, April 9, 2026, about whether
- 9:27it was more interesting to buy into
- 9:30copper miners. And I think it is time
- 9:33to talk about what was commented on
- 9:35there and the update, given the current
- 9:37moment. Who would benefit at that time
- 9:40from the copper rally? Perfect. But,
- 9:42where are we now to see if we can
- 9:44benefit even further? You have all of
- 9:46this in more detail in that post. Which
- 9:49, by the way, right now you have a
- 9:51discount for the annual plan in the
- 9:53video description and the pinned
- 9:55comment, so you can take advantage of
- 9:56these advanced theses from the most
- 9:58exclusive investment bank reports. You
- 10:01will always receive everything in your
- 10:03email. So take advantage of all this,
- 10:06and now, in fact, you are going to see
- 10:08what kind of information is published
- 10:09within this space. Well, fundamentally,
- 10:13what do the miners have? Well, the
- 10:15miners, as we published there, have a
- 10:18gross profit margin at record levels. A
- 10:22gross margin that is above the
- 10:24financial sector and technology, which
- 10:26are the next highest, but the mining
- 10:29industry has margins exceeding 30%.
- 10:34This is absolute madness and it tells
- 10:36us that with this current cycle, they
- 10:39are going to make a really significant
- 10:41amount of money. And keep in mind that
- 10:44these margins were studied based on
- 10:46prices from previous quarters. they
- 10:48need to be updated to the current
- 10:51quarters; that scenario that may come
- 10:53from this moment on must be discounted.
- 10:56Therefore, the risk-reward ratio can be
- 10:58worth it. Obviously, everything
- 11:01published and commented on this channel
- 11:03is not investment advice; it is simply
- 11:05information, analysis, and my personal
- 11:06view, but I think we are at that
- 11:08specific point. And for example, in the
- 11:11case of gold and silver miners, they
- 11:13are carrying out buybacks. We already
- 11:18saw, for example, in the technology
- 11:20sector what share buybacks meant. You
- 11:22remove shares from circulation, demand
- 11:24increases, and the price of these
- 11:26shares in the stock markets rises. In
- 11:29the case of copper miners, let's see if
- 11:32they also follow in the footsteps of
- 11:34their older sisters in silver and gold,
- 11:36but there are fundamental aspects that
- 11:39lead us to think they will make more
- 11:41money in this context. And precisely my
- 11:45latest thesis update, which I published
- 11:48just a few days ago, analyzes this in
- 11:50much greater detail. You see it here,
- 11:54the copper miner thesis, and it was
- 11:56time to talk about the thesis, the
- 11:57update, and all the details of how I
- 11:59see things, which we are going to
- 12:01discuss right now. The technical side,
- 12:03what we talked about earlier, right?
- 12:06All this part with the copper demand
- 12:08booming, the technical side pointing
- 12:11upward, and the thesis update with the
- 12:13name that deserves special attention
- 12:15from me. It is the case of Ivanhoe
- 12:19Mines. It is a Canadian mining company
- 12:22that has been moving sideways for a
- 12:24long time, precisely offering an
- 12:26accumulation zone that could be quite
- 12:29interesting, as we marked here in the
- 12:31publication and where I took the
- 12:33opportunity to take a position. And it
- 12:36is not a recommendation, as you well
- 12:39know; in the case of Ivanhoe Mines, for
- 12:41me, it is a gem in the sector with
- 12:44Kamoa-Kakula in the Congo as one of the
- 12:46largest copper deposits in the world,
- 12:49which this miner operates and has been
- 12:51operating for a long time. With the
- 12:54free cash flow it is generating and the
- 12:56mined copper that is expected, it is
- 12:58clear that the fundamental path is
- 13:00upward. In fundamental terms and
- 13:02thinking about what is coming from this
- 13:04moment on, it could be at quite
- 13:06attractive trading levels. This is
- 13:08always from my point of view and
- 13:10knowing that I could be wrong. In fact,
- 13:13several months ago I published this
- 13:15theory in this previous post for the
- 13:17premium members who were in the
- 13:19newsletter discussing the targets,
- 13:20right? The level it was at, the current
- 13:24price, and the consensus target, which
- 13:27is 19.96 Canadian dollars. With the
- 13:30mining thesis update, we see it trading
- 13:33at around 12-something dollars, about
- 13:35the same as before, so the accumulation
- 13:37zone remains completely valid and
- 13:39according to the consensus, it has a 60
- 13:41%upside potential. With the
- 13:45Kamoa-Kakula project in the Democratic
- 13:48Republic of Congo, with a 389,000-ton
- 13:50deposit produced in 2025 and its growth
- 13:53trajectory, Kipushi is also added,
- 13:56which is zinc and copper, that whole
- 13:58deposit, and also Platreef, right?
- 14:01which are platinum group metals and
- 14:03nickel, diversifying the business
- 14:05beyond pure copper. Right now it has a
- 14:0960%potential according to the consensus
- 14:11and in my case, since I added it to my
- 14:14portfolio, I’m already up around 35
- 14:16to 40%. In other words, we are at a
- 14:19very interesting level for the long
- 14:21term. I back all this up with more
- 14:23details. I also provide risks and
- 14:25warnings. I gave my reading on it
- 14:28several weeks ago so that those in this
- 14:30information service have that access,
- 14:32but I’m sharing it with you all, and
- 14:34also now with that special discount for
- 14:36these days only, so you can see all the
- 14:38content we are publishing. And this
- 14:41mining thesis, which I see quite
- 14:43clearly, I have developed here in much
- 14:45greater depth and spoken aloud so that
- 14:47you can also see that I share content
- 14:49openly with the community, and for
- 14:51those who want to join early, you know
- 14:53where to find it down below so you can
- 14:55take advantage. That said, I want to
- 14:58ask you a question: do you find the
- 14:59copper thesis interesting? Do you find
- 15:01the silver miner or gold miner thesis
- 15:03interesting? Do you want me to do
- 15:05something in-depth regarding all of
- 15:06this here on the YouTube channel? Leave
- 15:08it in the comments, as I am interested
- 15:09in knowing your point of view. But in
- 15:11summary, what I see quite clearly is
- 15:14that copper is starting something that
- 15:16is very long-term. The miners are still
- 15:18at a point where they are lagging
- 15:20behind the rise in copper prices, so
- 15:22the opportunity cost, in my opinion, is
- 15:24quite high. I’m putting myself out
- 15:25there, and I’m doing it quite a bit,
- 15:27as you can see, and I could be wrong.
- 15:28Know that I can be wrong and that you
- 15:30should do your own in-depth analysis.
- 15:32Just because you see something on a
- 15:34YouTube channel from someone like me,
- 15:36who has been a communicator and analyst
- 15:38for over 15 years, don’t follow it
- 15:40blindly. That’s not what this is for.
- 15:42This channel isn't for you to follow me
- 15:44; it’s to make you think, reflect,
- 15:46and get this information, whether it's
- 15:48early or not, so that you can make your
- 15:50own decisions. I’ve already made mine
- 15:53, and I clearly see the path and the
- 15:54potential that copper and everything
- 15:56related to it has in this cycle. If
- 15:58this were to change at some point,
- 16:01don't worry, I will tell you. I will
- 16:03tell you because I’m transparent, and
- 16:05I also talk about my mistakes within my
- 16:07reporting, analysis, and opinions, of
- 16:09which there are quite a few. I’m a
- 16:11human being, just like everyone else.
- 16:12But anyway, having said that, I hope
- 16:14you liked the analysis, and to support
- 16:15it, please leave a like, subscribe to
- 16:17the channel, turn on notifications, and
- 16:19I’ll see you in the next video. A big
- 16:21hug to everyone, and see you soon. Cu?
