호주의 다국적 광산업체인 BHP 그룹(NYSE:BHP)가 경쟁사인 앵글로 아메리칸(OTC:NGLOY)에 제출한 약 400억 달러 입찰은 이 회사를 인수하기에 충분하지 않을 수 있다. 왜냐하면 구리 자산에 대한 전 세계적 쟁탈전 속에서 다른 다각화된 광산업체들이 아마도 경쟁 입찰을 할 것이기 때문이다.

월스트리트는 인공 지능(AI) 운영에 필수적인 데이터 센터에서 금속의 사용이 증가함에 따라 구리에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있음을 보여주고 있다. What Happened: 제프리스(Jefferies)의 메모에 따르면 데이터 센터의 전 세계 구리 수요는 2023년 239,000톤에서 2030년까지 연간 최소 450,000톤으로 증가할 것으로 예측된다고 CNBC가 보도했다.

In Response To Escalating Insurance Losses From Large-scale Civil Unrest Events In Recent Years, Leading Global Analytics And Data Provider Verisk Is Releasing The Industry's First-of-its-kind Catastrophe Model To Help Quantify The Financial Impacts Of Strikes, Riots And Civil Commotion In The United States

At a Michigan rally commemorating the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/media/25/04/45089307/trump-says-hes-already-ended-inflation-at-michigan-rally-held-to-mark-100-days-in-office-promises-to-protect-medicare-and-social-security-democrats-plan-senate-ba">100th day of his second term</a>, President Donald Trump once again remarked on Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, claiming the superiority of his own knowledge over the former's without taking his name.
What Happened: Addressing supporters at Macomb Community College, Trump said: "Inflation is basically down and interest rates came down despite the fact that I have a Fed person who&#8217;s not really doing a good job, but I won&#8217;t say that… You&#8217;re supposed to let him do his own thing, but I know much more than he does about interest rates, believe me."
Trump&#8217;s comments come in the heels of a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45074861/us-consumer-expectations-falls-to-13-year-lows-as-recession-fears-inflation-worries-surge">report shared by The Conference Board</a>, which indicates that consumer confidence in the U.S. dropped sharply in April, with the Expectations Index plunging to 54.4. This is its lowest level since October 2011. 
The overall Consumer Confidence Index <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45074861/us-consumer-expectations-falls-to-13-year-lows-as-recession-fears-inflation-worries-surge">fell 7.9 points to 86</a>, marking its fifth consecutive monthly decline. The drop implies increasing pessimism about inflation and job prospects, triggering fears of a potential recession as values below 80 have historically signaled downturns.

Why It Matters:  Trump&#8217;s latest remarks come as tensions between him and the central bank over the direction of interest rate policy continue to fester. While the Fed has maintained its benchmark federal funds rate at <a href="https://www.newyorkfed.org/markets/reference-rates/effr">4.33%</a>, Trump has continuously called for further cuts, arguing that inflation is no longer a pressing issue.
The Fed, however, remains cautious due to economic turmoil, partly generated by Trump's tariff policies. Despite his attacks, Trump has rescinded calls for removing Powell, saying, "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44940900/us-futures-dollar-jump-amid-trumps-latest-comments-on-fed-nikkei-rebounds-to-three-week-high">I have no intention to firing him</a>."
Despite tensions with Trump, Powell's stance has been firm. His <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44943304/feds-jerome-powell-isnt-budging-on-rate-cut-despite-trumps-bashing-and-pressure-heres-why">refusal to cut rates</a> is grounded in the Fed's data-driven mandate, enduring concerns about inflation, and a robust labor market. Powell has also reminded critics that the Fed's authority is based on law, and its leaders are safeguarded from removal over mere policy disagreements.

Two people connected with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) were provided accounts on classified U.S. government networks that manage sensitive nuclear weapons data, according to a report.
What Happened: Luke Farritor, a 23-year-old former SpaceX intern, and Adam Ramada, a Miami venture capitalist, appeared in directories on two classified systems run by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and the Department of Defense, NPR <a href="https://www.npr.org/2025/04/28/nx-s1-5378684/doge-energy-department-nuclear-secrets-access">reported</a>, citing sources.
These networks include the NNSA Enterprise Secure Network, which holds highly restricted nuclear design data, and SIPRNet, which regulates secret-level communications.
The Department of Energy (DOE) told NPR that these accounts were never accessed, but the development has raised eyebrows within national security circles.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/45034082/elon-musks-doge-saves-160-billion-but-could-lead-to-billions-in-hidden-costs-for-taxpayers-warns-new-analysis-public-will-end-up-paying-for-this">Elon Musk&#8217;s DOGE Saves $160 Billion But Could Lead To Billions In Hidden Costs For Taxpayers, Warns New Analysis: &#8216;Public&#8230;Will End Up Paying For This&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: To access these networks, officials usually require a "Q" clearance, which is the DOE's highest level of security clearance. Neither Farritor nor Ramada had this level of clearance, according to the report.
Merely being present in these directories does not enable access to classified material, but experts note that it could be a gateway to further infiltration.
Concerns about DOGE's access have been exacerbated by its increasing influence among federal agencies and an earlier <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44859945/whistleblower-alleges-doge-involved-in-major-cybersecurity-breach-at-us-labor-agency">whistleblower report</a> alleging unauthorized data access at the National Labor Relations Board.
The appearance of these accounts also contradicts assurances made by Energy Secretary Chris Wright in February <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2025/02/07/doge-staffers-at-department-of-energy-dont-have-access-to-nuclear-secrets-secretary-says.html">on</a> CNBC that DOGE personnel did not have access to them.
This new report comes amid rising scrutiny over DOGE's access to government agencies and their sensitive data. Earlier this month, House Democrats voiced their concerns and alleged that <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888379/elon-musks-doge-under-fire-house-democrats-say-agency-is-building-unlawful-master-database-of-sensitive-us-data">DOGE is creating a cross-agency master database</a> that might compromise privacy and national security.
DOGE has been previously linked with privacy and security concerns across other federal agencies, such as its attempts to access <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/04/44697671/trump-administrations-push-to-access-social-security-data-faces-major-setback-as-court-dismisses-appeal" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from the Social Security Administration</a>, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/02/43768756/privacy-concerns-emerge-as-elon-musks-doge-team-seeks-access-to-taxpayer-data" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">taxpayer data</a>, and its reported <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/politics/25/04/44683851/elon-musks-secretive-doge-team-using-ai-and-disappearing-messages-to-monitor-federal-workers-for-anti-trump-sentiment-bypassing-records-laws-and-locking-out-agencies-report" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tracking of employee communications using artificial intelligence tools.</a>

Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) has expressed his support for $500 billion in Medicaid cuts. This comes as congressional Republicans are striving to preserve the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
What Happened:&nbsp;Bacon, joined by 12 other Republicans, has closely reviewed the proposal and identified three key areas for potential spending cuts, based on estimates from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. 
These include imposing work requirements for able-bodied adults without children, removing undocumented migrants from Medicaid coverage, and requiring annual audits to ensure only eligible individuals receive Medicaid. The estimated savings from these measures are around $200 billion, $200 billion, and $100 billion, respectively, stated the Nebraska Rep. in an <a href="https://www.ketv.com/article/nebraska-rep-bacon-supports-medicaid-cuts/64627089">interview</a> with KETV.
The House of Representatives&#8217; initial budget proposal includes around $880 billion in reductions to Medicaid funding. However, Bacon clarified that he does not support cuts that would affect the quality of care provided by Medicaid or hospitals. He believes these reforms preserve the &#8220;integrity&#8221; of Medicaid for those who truly need it and protect hospitals.
Speaking about the White House, Bacon stated, &#8220;&#8230;they&#8217;re actually in rough agreement because the President&#8217;s also said he doesn&#8217;t want to cut Medicaid. So we&#8217;re sort of saying the same thing.&#8221;
Despite this, the group, Nebraska For Us, accused Bacon of changing his stance on the issue. Angie Lauritsen, the group&#8217;s director, stated,  &#8220;First, he said he opposed Medicaid cuts. Now he's open to slashing hundreds of billions of dollars from it. Which is it?"

Here&#8217;s What He Did With It</a>
Why It Matters: The proposed Medicaid cuts come amid a broader debate on federal spending. Nebraska's congressional Republicans claim the 2017 tax cuts lowered individual taxes by roughly 20%, saving the average Nebraskan around $1,600 annually. To keep these tax cuts in place, Bacon noted that it would likely require cutting between $1 trillion and $1.5 trillion from the federal budget.
Notably, President Donald Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/25/04/45064937/donald-trump-threatens-to-veto-any-gop-bill-that-touches-medicaid-or-social-security-if-it-cuts-it-i-would-not-approve">threatened to veto any bill</a>&nbsp;that trims Social Security or federal health programs. &#8220;If it cuts it, I would not approve,&#8221; stated Trump clarifying he&#8217;s all for cutting the waste and fraud on Medicaid. Meanwhile,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/health-care/25/04/44783620/speaker-mike-johnson-says-us-must-eliminate-people-on-medicaid-who-are-not-actually-eligible-to-be-there">House Speaker Mike Johnson</a>&nbsp;has been advocating for stricter Medicaid eligibility. 
The proposed cuts also come at a time when Nebraska is facing a financial crunch, with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44304047/mark-cuban-warns-nebraska-will-get-crushed-by-tariffs-and-medicaid-cuts-faces-a-200m-shortfall-this-year">Mark Cuban warning</a>&nbsp;that the state could face a $200 million budget shortfall due to tariffs and Medicaid cuts.

Donald Trump, dubbed the "<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/which-crypto-is-up-because-of-trumps-inauguration">crypto president</a>," has completed 100 days in office since taking the oath on Jan. 20. Delivering on the pre-election promise, he established a Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) Strategic Reserve, but it has not been enough to reverse the apex cryptocurrency&#8217;s decline throughout his tenure. 
What happened: Bitcoin <a href="https://in.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/43079668/bitcoin-hits-record-109000-ahead-of-trumps-inauguration-sparks-market-rally">recorded </a>its all-time high of $109,000 ahead of Trump's presidential inauguration, owing to high expectations from his administration.
Trump had promised to create a national Bitcoin reserve during the campaign trail, and his subsequent victory fueled a bullish frenzy for the coin, propelling it beyond $100,000 for the first time in history.
Trump kept his promise and passed an executive order creating a reserve that will be funded with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/03/44183572/trump-establishes-strategic-bitcoin-reserve-funded-by-forfeited-assets-i-made-the-promise">Bitcoin owned by the federal government</a>, obtained through criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings.
However, even a strong catalyst like this hasn't come to the rescue of the leading digital asset, which has fallen more than 13% during Trump 2.0

The slump has been primarily driven by Trump's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/04/45084679/q1-gdp-recession-bets-spike-as-trump-tariffs-risk-fuel-2020-style-economic-shock">sweeping tariff measures</a> against key trading partners, which have sparked macroeconomic uncertainty and recession fears.

Notably, the Federal Reserve maintained near-zero interest rates during this time, potentially encouraging investments in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin Falls 13% In First 100 Days Of 'Crypto President' Trump — How Did It Perform Under Biden?

United Parcel Service Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UPS#NYSE">UPS</a>) has disclosed its intentions to lay off 20,000 employees and cease operations in 73 facilities. This decision is attributed to a considerable decline in deliveries for&nbsp;Amazon.com Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), its primary client, and the ongoing repercussions of President Donald Trump&#8216;s tariffs.
What Happened:&nbsp;&nbsp;UPS is planning to cut 20,000 jobs and shut down 73 facilities. This move is a consequence&nbsp;of a planned reduction in&nbsp;deliveries for Amazon and the continued impact of President Trump&#8217;s tariffs. The job cuts are part of an extensive operational restructuring aimed at cost-cutting and enhancing efficiency. An Amazon spokesperson stated, &#8220;Due&nbsp;to their operational needs, UPS&nbsp;requested a reduction in volume&nbsp;and we certainly respect their&nbsp;decision,&#8221; reported Reuters.
Sean O&#8217;Brien, general president of the Teamsters, said that UPS is contractually obligated to create 30,000 jobs as part of its current national master agreement. He warned that any violation of this agreement or attempts to compromise the hard-earned jobs of Teamsters would result in a severe backlash.
In response, UPS assured its commitment to the contract. The company currently has 406,000 employees in the U.S., with more than 75% represented by unions.
SEE ALSO:&nbsp;<a href="https://benzinga.com/news/25/04/45074825/jeff-bezos-says-an-employee-looked-at-me-like-i-was-the-stupidest-person-theyd-ever-seen-then-offered-a-simp" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jeff Bezos Says An Employee &#8216;Looked At Me Like I Was the Stupidest Person They&#8217;d Ever Seen&#8217; — Then Offered A Simple Idea That Changed Amazon</a>
Why It Matters:&nbsp;The announcement of job cuts and facility closures comes on the heels of UPS&#8217;s Q1 2025 results, which were a mixed bag. The company reported a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/45065830/ups-delivers-mixed-bag-q1-supply-chain-weakness-offset-by-strong-domestic-and-international-growth">consolidated revenue</a> decline of 0.7% year-over-year to $21.546 billion, beating the consensus of $21.05 billion. 
The adjusted EPS was $1.49, up 4.3% YoY, above the consensus of $1.38. Despite the better-than-expected results, the company is evidently grappling with the impact of reduced Amazon deliveries and tariffs, leading to this significant operational restructuring.
Earlier this month, President Trump imposed new 145% tariffs on many Chinese goods, escalating trade tensions. While U.S. imports make up less than 2% of UPS's global volume, the China-U.S. route remains highly profitable, accounting for 11% of UPS's international revenue. UPS is seeing increased volume from Europe and Asia, but small businesses reliant on China could be hit hard. UPS also faces risks from Chinese e-commerce giants as the duty-free status ends in May. "In the worst case," a supply shock could follow stated Brian Dykes, EVP and CFO at UPS.
UPS holds a Growth rating of 38.42% and a value rating of 57.32%, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/UPS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Benzinga&#8217;s Proprietary Edge Rankings</a>.

UPS To Cut 20,000 Jobs, Close Facilities As Amazon Shipments Drop Amid Trump Tariffs

Brian Colello, Morningstar&#8217;s equity strategist, expressed a bearish outlook on Nvidia&#8217;s China business, while maintaining a positive view on its prospects in developed markets.
What Happened: Colello suggested that Huawei&#8217;s competitive threat is a significant obstacle for Nvidia, especially in China. He stated, &#8220;I think it&#8217;s pretty much game over for Nvidia in China.&#8221; Colello, while speaking to Yahoo Finance pointed out that U.S. restrictions, including the ban on Nvidia&#8217;s H20 chip, have hindered Nvidia&#8217;s ability to sell high-performance chips in China.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Why it's ‘game over for Nvidia in China'" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/8j_wFSLLq68?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Nvidia has reportedly recorded a $5.5 billion write-off tied to its China business, with further details expected in its earnings report later in May. Colello believes Nvidia's operations in China have steadily deteriorated, calling the H20 ban "the final straw&#8221; of Nvidia being able to sell anything halfway decent into China. Colello also expects Huawei&#8217;s products to be higher quality than Nvidia&#8217;s H20 chips.  
While Nvidia faces challenges in China, Colello remains optimistic about the company&#8217;s short-term prospects in developed markets like Europe and the U.S., highlighting strong demand from hyperscalers like Google (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) and Microsoft (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>). He is confident that U.S. companies will not slowdown their AI investments even if there is a potential recession in the future.

Why It Matters: Huawei has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/04/45033025/nvidia-faces-new-challenge-as-huawei-tests-powerful-ascend-910d-ai-chip-amid-us-sanctions-aiming-to-disrupt-high-end-market-report">begun testing </a>its new AI chip, the Ascend 910D, which is designed to rival Nvidia&#8217;s flagship processors. This move comes even as U.S. sanctions continue to stifle China's semiconductor ambitions.
Furthermore, the Trump administration is reportedly considering significant changes to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/45090935/trump-administration-targets-biden-era-ai-chip-curbs-could-scrap-country-tiers-and-tighten-access-to-nvidias-h100-chips-report">Biden-era restrictions</a> on AI chip exports. These changes could further tighten access to Nvidia&#8217;s H100 chips.
These developments could potentially impact Nvidia&#8217;s market position in China and its overall growth. While Huawei's current offerings don't yet signal Chinese superiority in AI, Colello noted that China's rapid progress—exemplified by Huawei and models like DeepSeek—raises concerns about its ability to catch up faster than anticipated. However, strategist Colello remains confident in U.S. tech dominance with Nvidia continuing to lead in innovation. 
Colello also pointed to projects like Stargate to highlight the significant investment opportunities in U.S. AI infrastructure. He named Nvidia as one of Morningstar's top picks, emphasizing its limited vulnerability to new tariffs and its dominant position in the AI sector.
Benzinga's Edge Rankings highlight strong momentum and growth rankings for Nvidia in the 64th and 95th percentiles, respectively.

Dow Surges 300 Points Amid Trade Deal Hopes: Greed Index Remains In 'Fear' Zone

Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) is ramping up the production of its Semi Truck as the company reportedly added over 1,000 Workers to its Nevada Giga factory.
What Happened: Elon Musk's EV giant recently brought in new workers for tours and training at the Gigafactory in Nevada, which was recently updated with a dedicated section for Semi production, Business Insider<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-ramps-up-hiring-for-semi-truck-2025-4"> reported</a> on Tuesday.
Previously, Tesla had less than 100 workers assigned to the Semi division, including the primary production facility in California, the report suggests.
The Semi boasts a 500-mile range on a single charge and can be charged to recover over 70% of the 500-mile range in 30 minutes using one of the dedicated Semi chargers, according to Tesla.
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment. 
Why It Matters: The report comes in as Tesla recently shared an update on its Semi production. Dan Priestley, the head of the company's Semi program, shared that Tesla intends <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45060435/teslas-first-batch-of-semi-trucks-to-roll-out-from-nevada-plant-by-late-2025-despite-disruption-from-trumps-145-tariffs">to start production</a> at the Nevada facility by the end of the year.
"First units are set to be on the line by the end of this year, and we'll be ramping the factory throughout 2026," Priestley said.
However, Musk's plans <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44831422/donald-trumps-145-tariffs-on-china-could-disrupt-teslas-cybercab-semi-production-report">could be disrupted</a> by Donald Trump's ongoing trade war with China, as the U.S. levies 145% tariffs on Chinese goods, which could also disrupt the company's Cybercab production.
Tesla has already <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38936949/tesla-semi-fleet-grows-as-pepsico-takes-delivery-of-another-50-ev-trucks">delivered over 50 Semi Trucks</a> to PepsiCo Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PEP#NASDAQ">PEP</a>) in 2024, and this production boost could help the company continue the delivery of its promised Semis to PepsiCo.

Macro Economic Events

Econ #s

Germany Gross Domestic Product (QoQ) Preliminary For Q1 0.2% Vs. 0.2% Est.; -0.2% Prior

전 세계가 전기화된 미래로 나아가면서 구리 시장은 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/copper">중요한 기로</a>에 서 있다.
JP모건의 애널리스트인 패트릭 존스(Patrick Jones), 그렉 시어러(Greg Shearer) 및 빌 피터슨(Bill Peterson)의 통찰은 구리 가격에 대한 단기적인 장애물과 전기차 및 공급 동태의 변화에 의해 주도되는 화려한 장기 전망을 제시한다.
이는 United States Copper Index Fund ETV(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CPER#NYSE">CPER</a>), Global X Copper Miners ETF(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COPX#NYSE">COPX</a>) 및 iShares Copper and Metals Mining ETF(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICOP#NASDAQ">ICOP</a>)에 투자한 이들에게는 장기적으로 좋은 소식처럼 보일 수 있다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">전기차 붐: 구리 수요를 급증시키다</h2>
전기차(EV) 혁명은 구리 수요를 전기화할 준비가 되어 있다. JP모건은 전기차에서의 구리 사용량이 2023년 140만 톤에서 2030년까지 300만 톤으로 두 배 이상 증가할 것이라고 예측한다. 얇은 구리 양극 포일과 같은 기술 발전이 수요를 저해할 수 있다는 우려가 있지만, 이 애널리스트들은 그렇지 않다고 주장한다.
전기차 크기의 증가와 리튬-철-인산(LFP) 배터리로의 전환 — 이는 구리 사용량이 더 많은 배터리이다 — 이 장기적인 성장을 주도할 것으로 예상된다.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">신기술: 용출이 생명줄이 될 수 있을까?</h2>
용출 기술(Leaching technologies)이 화제를 모으고 있지만, 구리 공급을 혁신할 수 있을까? 아직은 아니라고 이 애널리스트들은 말한다. 프리포트-맥모란(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>)과 BHP 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHP#NYSE">BHP</a>)과 같은 주요 광산업체들의 프로젝트가 수면 위로 떠오르고 있지만, 이러한 발전이 2030년 이전에 공급 감소를 상쇄할 가능성은 낮다.
최고로 봐도 용출 기술은 연간 55만 톤을 추가할 수 있으며, 이는 전 세계 공급의 2%에 불과하다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">스크랩 및 재활용: 주목받지 않는 영웅?</h2>
재활용은 구리 공급의 중요한 요소로, 2024년 정제 공급의 약 17%를 차지하여 2020년의 14%에서 증가할 것이다. JP모건은 스크랩 공급이 연간 5-6% 성장할 것으로 예상하지만, 이는 역사적 비율보다 빠르긴 해도 장기적인 적자를 메우기에는 불충분하다고 전망한다. 재활용만으로는 구리 공급 부족 문제를 해결할 수 없다.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">단기 위험, 장기 보상</h2>
JP모건은 중국 위안화가 1달러당 7.8에서 8.0으로 평가절하될 가능성 등 거시경제적 압력으로 인한 단기 위험을 경고한다. 이는 구리 가격이 12-15% 하락하게 되어 주식에 악영향을 미칠 수 있지만, 이 애널리스트들은 다가오는 공급-수요 격차에 기초하여 장기적인 경로에 대해 긍정적으로 전망하고 있다.
그들의 추천 종목은 다음과 같다:
룬딘 마이닝(OTCPK:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/lunmf" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for LUNMF">LUNMF</a>)은 EMEA에서 선두주자이며, 테크 리소스(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TECK#NYSE">TECK</a>)는 아메리카에서 가장 높다. 아시아-태평양의 선호 종목은 지진 마이닝(Zijin Mining)과 메르데카 코퍼(Merdeka Copper)이며, 장시 코퍼(Jiangxi Copper)와 샌드파이어 리소스(Sandfire Resources)에 대해서는 주의가 필요하다.

호주의 다국적 광산업체인 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/BHP" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BHP</a> 그룹(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BHP#NYSE">BHP</a>)가 경쟁사인 앵글로 아메리칸(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NGLOY#OTC">NGLOY</a>)에 제출한 약 400억 달러 입찰은 이 회사를 인수하기에 충분하지 않을 수 있다. 왜냐하면 구리 자산에 대한 전 세계적 쟁탈전 속에서 다른 다각화된 광산업체들이 아마도 경쟁 입찰을 할 것이기 때문이다.
작년에 호주 구리 생산업체인 OZ 미네랄(OZ Minerals)의 64억 달러 인수를 완료한 후, BHP는 세계 경제가 화석 연료에서 전환함에 따라 앞으로 수요가 크게 증가할 것이라는 광범위한 기대 속에서 구리에 대한 투자를 두 배로 늘리고 있다.
태양광, 풍력 발전소, 전기 자동차에는 기존 유틸리티 및 내연 기관 자동차보다 더 많은 구리가 필요하다.
투자 컨설팅 회사인 델타 캐피털 매니지먼트(Delta Capital Management)의 설립자인 숀 캐스터라인(Sean Casterline)은 Benzinga에 &#8220;이것은 세계 청정 에너지 운동의 핵심인 구리 및 기타 금속에 ​​대한 쟁탈전으로 인해 추진된 산업용 금속을 통합하려는 최신 움직임&#8221;이라고 말했다.
이미 세계 최대의 광산 회사인 BHP는 현재 칠레의 국영 코델코(Codelco)와 미국의 대형 기업인 프리포트 맥모란(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FCX#NYSE">FCX</a>)에 이어 세 번째로 큰 구리 생산업체이다. 앵글로 아메리칸과의 합병으로 BHP는 선두 위치로 올라설 것이다.
RBC 캐피털 마켓의 분석가는 &#8220;우리의 견해로는 구리 자산이 제안된 거래의 주요 동인이라고 생각한다&#8221;라고 말했다.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">경쟁 입찰 가능성 높다</h1>
BHP는 런던에 본사를 둔 앵글로 아메리칸에 주당 25.08파운드(32.27달러)를 제안했으며 앵글로 아메리칸은 이 제안을 검토 중이라고 밝혔다. 이번 전체 주식 거래는 앵글로 아메리칸의 가치를 311억 파운드(389억 달러)로 평가하며 이 영국 회사가 남아프리카에 상장된 앵글로 아메리칸 플래티넘(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANGPY#OTC">ANGPY</a>) 및 쿰바 철광석(Kumba Iron Ore Ltd.)(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KIROY#OTC">KIROY</a>)의 지분을 분할하는 데 달려 있다.
이번 제안은 앵글로 아메리칸의 런던 상장 주식에 대해서는 14% 가량의 프리미엄을, 그리고 동사의 백금 및 철광석 부문을 제외한다면 31% 가량의 프리미엄을 나타낸다.
그러나 이에 대해 여러 분석가들은 이게 충분하지 않을 수도 있다고 말했다.
또한 읽어볼 것: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/04/38090219/will-copper-reach-10-000-an-essential-metal-that-faces-an-uncertain-future">구리는 1만 달러에 달할까? ‘불확실한 미래를 맞닥뜨리는 귀중한 금속&#8217;</a>
앵글로 아메리칸의 주가는 최근 너무 하락했기 때문에 이사회와 주주들은 아마도 BHP가 구리 사업을 운영하고 있는 칠레와 페루에서의 이 회사 구리 자산을 포함한 회사의 가치를 BHP의 제안이 과소평가한 것으로 생각할 것이다. 앵글로 아메리칸의 주가는 운영 문제, 실망스러운 생산 전망, 다이아몬드 및 플래티넘 그룹 시장의 부진으로 인해 어려움을 겪고 있다.
BHP의 제안은 &#8220;앵글로 이사회나 주요 주주를 끌어들이기에 충분하지 않은 소심하고 다소 복잡한 입찰&#8221;이라고 리버룸(Liberum)의 분석가 벤 데이비스(Ben Davis)가 말했다. BHP의 제안 이후 그는 앵글로의 목표 가격을 27.50파운드(34.41달러)로 높였다. 이는 제안이 공식적으로 공개되기 전 주식 종가에서 거의 25% 상승한 수치입니다.
제프리스(Jefferies)의 분석가들은 회사 간의 진지한 논의를 위해서는 주당 최소 28파운드(35.04달러)의 가격이 필요할 것이며 주당 30파운드(37.54달러)를 넘는 테이크아웃 가격은 입찰 전쟁의 결과가 될 것이라고 말하면서 더 높이 올렸다.
&#8220;만약 BHP가 실제로 이 거래를 계속 추진한다면 다른 입찰자가 나오지 않는다면 우리는 놀랄 것이다&#8221;라고 이 회사가 말했다. &#8220;이 게임이 시작되는 것을 보자.&#8221;
RBC 캐피털 마켓의 분석가들은 이 회사의 구리 자산을 결합할 때 얻을 수 있는 잠재적 이점 때문에 다각화된 채굴업체 글렌코어(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLNCY#OTC">GLNCY</a>)를 하나의 논리적 입찰자로 선정했다. 이 회사는 브라질 철광석 자산 결합의 매력 때문에 발리(NYSE:<a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/vale" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for VALE">VALE</a>)도 가능성으로 내세웠다.
데이비스는 다국적 광산 기업인 리오 틴토(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RIO#NYSE">RIO</a>)를 중요한 후보로 꼽았다. 하지만 그는 이 회사가 광산을 구매하는 것보다 광산을 건설하는 것을 선호하는 것으로 유명하다고 지적했다.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">금광 회사들의 구리 자산 확장</h1>
구리 인수가 매력적인 이유 중 하나는 처음부터 새로운 구리 광산을 건설하는 데 비용이 많이 들고 시간이 많이 걸린다는 것이다.
허가를 받기 어려운 미국이나 현지 시위 이후 최근 법원 판결로 대규모 구리 광산을 폐쇄해야 하는 파나마와 같은 다른 관할권에서는 특히 그렇다고 폴라리스 캐피털(Polaris Capital)의 포트폴리오 매니저인 제이슨 크로쇼(Jason Crawshaw)가 말했다. 폴라리스 캐피털은 구리 광산업체인 런딘 마이닝 코퍼레이션(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LUNMF#OTC">LUNMF</a>)와 안토파가스타(Antofagasta) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANFGF#OTC">ANFGF</a>)에 투자하고 있다.
그는 벤징가(Benzinga)에게 &#8220;자산 쟁탈전이 벌어지고 있다&#8221;고 말했다. &#8220;모두는 항상 구리에 더 많이 노출되기를 원한다.&#8221;
금광 회사들조차 구리 자산을 더 확대하는 데 관심을 갖고 있다.
작년에 미국에 본사를 둔 금광 메이저인 뉴몬트(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NEM#NYSE">NEM</a>)는 호주의 금광업체인 뉴크레스트 마이닝(Newcrest Mining Ltd.)을 거의 170억 달러에 인수하여 거의 500억 파운드에 달하는 구리 매장량과 자원을 단번에 추가했다.
한편, 캐나다에 본사를 둔 경쟁사인 배릭 골드(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOLD#NYSE">GOLD</a>)는 2028년 공장 생산 확대를 목표로 잠비아 구리 광산을 확장하기 위해 약 20억 달러를 지출하고 있다.
구리 생산업체에 대한 다양한 노출을 원하는 투자자는 Global X Copper Miners ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COPX#NYSE">COPX</a>), Sprott Copper Miners ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COPP#NASDAQ">COPP</a>), Sprott Junior Copper Miners ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COPJ#NASDAQ">COPJ</a>) 및 iShares Copper and Metals Mining ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICOP#NASDAQ">ICOP</a>)를 고려할 수 있다.

월스트리트는 인공 지능(AI) 운영에 필수적인 데이터 센터에서 금속의 사용이 증가함에 따라 구리에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있음을 보여주고 있다.
What Happened: 제프리스(Jefferies)의 메모에 따르면 데이터 센터의 전 세계 구리 수요는 2023년 239,000톤에서 2030년까지 연간 최소 450,000톤으로 증가할 것으로 예측된다고 <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/15/wall-street-bullish-on-copper-on-ai-demand-analysts-like-these-stocks.html">CNBC가 보도했다</a>.
&#8220;저희의 분석결과 이 잠재적 수요 증가는 기본적으로 구리 시장의 공급 적자를 악화시킬 것이며, 결국에는 가격이 오를 것&#8221;이라고 제프리스 분석가들이 밝혔다.
또한 모건스탠리는 올해 말까지 구리 가격이 톤당 10,500달러에 달할 것으로 예측했으며, 이는 12%의 상승률이다. 이 예측은 인공지능 및 데이터 센터 운영에서 구리에 대한 수요 증가와 함께 공급이 제한되는 것에 기반을 두고 있다.

이 보도는 이 부문에 관심이 있는 투자자들이 글로벌 X 구리 광산 ETF(Global X Copper Miners ETF) (ARCA: <a class="items-end ticker-link-wrapper inline-flex" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/copx" target="_blank" rel="dofollow noopener" aria-label="Go to Quote Page for COPX">COPX</a>)의 주식, 특히 200% 이상의 잠재적 상승률과 100% 매수 등급을 보여주는 캐나다 기업 솔라리스 리소스(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLSSF#OTC">SLSSF</a>)의 주식을 고려할 것을 제안한다.
필로 마이닝(Filo Mining) (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FLMMF#OTC">FLMMF</a>)도 분석가들로부터 25%의 상승 잠재력과 92%의 인상적인 매수 등급을 받아 주목을 받았다. ETF를 통해 이 분야에 투자하고 싶은 투자자들을 위해 선택지로는 ETF를 통해 이 분야에 투자하고 싶은 투자자들을 위해 선택지로는 Global X Copper Miners ETF, Sprott Copper Miners ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COPP#NASDAQ">COPP</a>) 및 iShares Copper and Metals Mining ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ICOP#NASDAQ">ICOP</a>) 등이 있다.
Why It Matters: 구리 수요의 급증은 인공지능 붐과 밀접한 관련이 있다. 골드만삭스가 테크 주식, 특히 인공지능 부문의 뛰어난 성과에 힘입어 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37927561/goldman-sachs-predicts-15-upside-for-s-p-500-ai-boom-could-drive-market-to-6-000">2024년 말까지 S&amp;P 500이 15% 상승할 것</a>이라고 예측했다.
또한 애플의 공급업체인 IQE는 AI 부문의 급속한 확장에 따른 탄탄한 주문량에 힘입어 강력한 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38179631/ai-boom-fuels-optimistic-outlook-for-key-apple-supplier-iqe-sees-strong-order-book-in-2024-despite-p" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2024</a> 회계연도 실적을 예상했다.
그러나 인공지능 붐도 그 바람직하지 않은 측면이 있다. 구글 딥마인드의 공동 창업자인 데미스 허사비스(Demis Hassabis)는 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38017024/google-deepmind-co-founder-voices-concerns-over-ai-hype-were-talking-about-all-sorts-of-things-that">AI 투자의 급증</a>으로 실제적인 과학적 발전을 가려버리고 있으니 이점에 대해 우려를 표시했다.
