Copper Weekly
Copper sits at the heart of the energy transition, yet its market still trades on old and new fundamentals colliding. Copper Weekly, a Benchmark Podcast, cuts through the noise in 10–15 minutes, giving you the key moves, the real drivers, and the risks ahead.
Hosted by Michael Finch, Head of Strategic Initiatives, and Albert Mackenzie, Copper Analyst & Market Reporter, each episode breaks down the week’s price action and discusses the latest pressing developments shaping this ever-evolving market.
Drawing on Benchmark’s supply and demand expertise, with regular appearances from Piotr Kulas (Lead Supply Analyst) and Daan De Jonge (Lead Demand Analyst), among numerous guest speakers, the show connects short-term market moves with longer-term structural shifts in copper.
Whether you trade copper, produce it, consume it, or are tracking the metal that underpins electrification and decarbonisation, Copper Weekly gives you a concise, data-driven briefing every week.
