Hindustan Copper’s shares jumped up to 5% on Tuesday, hitting a high of ₹570 after global copper prices rose sharply.
Why copper prices are climbing
Prices of copper on the London Metals Exchange went up almost 3% in a day. The boost comes from growing demand for AI hardware, new data centres and the worldwide shift to green energy. At the same time, supply is tight because some big mines are facing shutdowns and labour issues.
How the rise helps Hindustan Copper
Higher copper prices are linked to the US dollar, and a weaker rupee makes each dollar‑priced sale more profitable for the company. This improves the company’s margins and earnings outlook.
What analysts expect for 2026
- Goldman Sachs predicts LME copper will stay between $10,000 and $11,000 per metric ton.
- The average price in the first half of 2026 is forecast at about $10,710.
- Potential US tariffs of 25% on refined copper could push prices higher.
Technical outlook for the stock
The chart shows a clear breakout above the long‑term resistance zone. As long as the price stays above the ₹480‑₹500 range, the trend stays positive. Holding above ₹520 could open the way to ₹600 and beyond, though occasional pull‑backs are possible.
Quick recap

- Global copper prices up ~3% on strong demand and supply constraints.
