As of June 2026, LME copper has surged past $13,800/ton, and LME aluminum has hit $3,720/ton – the highest levels since March 2022. Supply shortages, geopolitical tensions, and strong demand from power grids, EVs, and AI continue to drive prices upward.
Since copper and aluminum make up 60-80% of cable production costs, cable prices must rise accordingly. Industry practice is clear: every $1,000/ton increase in copper pushes cable prices up about 1%. Over the past year, some copper cable models have risen 25-50%.
