Goldman Sachs predicts record-high prices for copper and gold in 2024 due to increased demand from AI and defense sectors. The bank forecasts copper to reach $12,000 a ton and gold to hit $2,700 an ounce. This surge is driven by a “5D Bull Market” involving disinvestment, decarbonization, de-risking, data centers, and defense spending. Low investment in new production capacity and rising demand from AI, data centers, defense, and green transitions are tightening the market for critical metals.
