Why Copper May Be the Most Important Metal for the Next Decade

Copper is no longer just a construction material. It has become a critical input for electrification, energy security, and the digital economy.

In this episode, Tony Dong, Founder of ETF Portfolio Blueprint, breaks down why copper sits at the centre of some of the most important long term investment themes shaping the global economy. From electric vehicles and renewable energy to AI data centres and power grids, copper demand is accelerating just as supply is becoming harder, slower, and more expensive to bring online.

Tony explains why copper’s story is shifting from a cyclical commodity trade to a structural investment opportunity. He explores how policy driven electrification in the U.S., Europe, and China, rapid urbanization across emerging markets, and rising geopolitical tensions are turning copper into a bottleneck commodity with growing strategic importance.

The discussion also covers why copper miners can offer leveraged exposure to rising copper prices, the risks of investing in individual mining companies, and why some investors prefer diversified ETF solutions. Tony walks through how Canadian investors can access global copper producers through equity ETFs, including approaches that seek to generate income by harnessing volatility through covered call strategies.

The episode concludes with a look at why copper remains a sector worth watching over the next decade as infrastructure investment, energy transition, and supply constraints continue to collide.
