MiningNewsWire Editorial Coverage: Global electricity demand is reaching a pivotal turning point. The International Energy Agency (“IEA”) now projects that global data-center electricity use will almost double by 2030, with AI-focused facilities increasing their consumption more than four times over the same span — a trajectory pushing power grids in the United States, China, Europe, Southeast Asia and other regions to their limits. The bottleneck is no longer data throughput or semiconductor performance; the critical constraint has become electricity itself. Within this…

Strong Dollar Weighs on Copper Prices as Rate Cut Hopes Grow

Last week saw the price of copper drop slightly, pressured by increasing expectations of a reduction in interest rates by the Federal Reserve and a firmer dollar. On the London Metal Exchange, three-month copper hit $10,780.50 per metric ton, representing a 0.2% increase.

US Copper Production Stays Steady in 2025

As the year comes to a close, copper output in the United States holds firm at 1,077,000 tons. This figure represents an increase of about 1.7% as compared to last year’s output. Experts attribute this slight increase to reduced output from major operations like the Phoenix mine and the Kennecott Copper project. The Phoenix mine, operated jointly by Newmont and Barrick Gold, is expected to produce less this year due to the processing of lower-grade ore. Even so, some of the shortfall will be balanced by the restarted operations, including the Mineral Park and Johnson Camp projects. Operations at the…
