Copper’s inflation hedge and industrial demand appeal outshine gold

MarketWatch cites Panmure Liberum’s view that copper also shows relative immunity to interest-rate moves, unlike gold.

Reported · Written up by our desk · Industrial Metals

Copper is getting renewed attention as investors look beyond gold for inflation protection and exposure to ongoing industrial demand, according to MarketWatch.

MarketWatch, citing Panmure Liberum, argues copper can provide gold-like inflation hedging while also benefiting from an industrial-backed growth story.

The outlet also highlights Panmure Liberum’s view that copper is relatively less sensitive to interest-rate movements than gold.
