Investor and author Gianni Kovacevic shared his thoughts on copper market dynamics, saying that while the long-term trend is up, speculators can create significant shorter-term prices moves.
He also mentioned three copper companies he’s interested in right now: CopperNico Metals (TSX:COPR,OTCQB:CPPMF), Entree Resources (TSX:ETG,OTCQB:ERLFF) and Horizon Copper (TSXV:HCU,OTCQX:HNCUF).
In addition to copper, Kovacevic spoke about the growing opportunity he sees in lithium, highlighting how major miners like Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,NYSE:RIO,LSE:RIO) are increasing their exposure to this important battery metal.
‘We are going to have a supply shortage. Not in the distant future — in the next 18 to 36 months it’ll be a front-page story, and it will be dovetailed with … oil and gas. And with that comes the oil and gas investor,’ he said.
Explaining his view, Kovacevic said oil and gas companies are becoming interested in direct lithium extraction.
