Chamath Palihapitiya Predicts Copper as the Next Parabolic Trade for 2026
While 2025 was dominated by precious metals like gold and silver, Chamath Palihapitiya, a prominent investor, is now spotlighting copper as the next asset poised for explosive growth. In a recent video shared by Boring Business on X, Palihapitiya argued that the world has severely underestimated copper's critical role in global manufacturing. "We are still completely underestimating how short we are in terms of the global demand and supply dynamics of a handful of critical elements that we need," he said.
Copper's indispensable utility in industrial applications and its looming supply shortage could drive prices parabolic in the NEAR future. Barchart data supports this thesis, indicating copper prices are on the verge of a significant spike due to tightening supply. Palihapitiya's endorsement underscores a broader shift in commodity markets, where industrial metals may soon outshine traditional safe havens.
