Copper has quietly surged to all-time record highs, yet the conversation among investors remains unusually muted. Against tightening supply, structural deficits, and accelerating demand from electrification, AI-driven data centres, and global manufacturing recovery, copper is emerging as an increasingly important and strategic critical metal.

Kincora Copper (ASX:KCC, TSXV:KCC) Kincora President and CEO, Sam Spring, joins Lel Smits from The Stock Network to explore why copper’s price breakout is not a temporary spike, but a symptom of a market fundamentally short of metal, with UBS forecasting persistent deficits, constrained production growth, and structurally rising demand into 2026 and beyond.

The price of copper is surging to record highs as demand shifts at global levels. Every electrical vehicle needs up to four times more copper than a petrol car, renewable energy needs copper and AI data centres are copper-intensive by design. Supply can’t keep up and Morgan Stanley says this is set to continue into 2026. Copper has become essential to energy, transport, computing and national grids and the world can’t dig it up fast enough. Prices aren’t just climbing, they’re breaking records. As one analyst said, “Lithium may be the spark, but copper is the backbone to electrification.”

@netflix Inc (NASDAQ:NFLX) has done a deal to buy @warnerbros. for more than AUD $100 billion, but not everyone is happy about it. The $425 billion Nasdaq listed streaming company announced the merger last week but some say it should be blocked. The backlash is for a few reasons - firstly as Netflix will gain control of one of Hollywood`s most prized content companies. The Writers Guild of America says this is about, "The world’s largest streaming company swallowing one of its biggest competitors, and it`s what antitrust laws were designed to prevent." But what do you think? Is this a good deal for Netflix - and will you be watching more?
