    Copper deficit drives price rally, mining stocks benefit

    Copper prices (HG=F) have soared to an 11-month high, fueling a rally in mining stocks. RBC Capital Markets Mining Analyst Sam Crittenden joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss his bullish outlook on the precious metal. According to Crittenden, the copper rally "has been expected for a few months now." He highlights that supply disruptions during the fourth quarter of 2023 transformed what was anticipated to be a surplus in 2024 into a deficit, which has "driven these higher prices." While sluggish demand from regions like China has been a concern, he notes that as the summer construction season approaches, typically a "strong period," demand concerns could potentially abate, driving copper prices even higher. However, Crittenden explains that the energy transition stands to be the biggest driver of copper demand going forward.

    Commodities on a run: How to play Crude Oil

    Commodities are on a run with Cocoa Futures (CC=F) topping $8,000 per metric ton and Copper Futures (HG=F) hitting its highest level in almost a year. Oil prices (BZ=F, CL=F) have also been rising this week, at one point topping over $80 per barrel. Path Trading Partners Co-Founder Bob Iaccino and Blue Line Futures Chief Market Strategist Phillip Streible join Yahoo Finance to discuss how investors should position themselves within the commodity sector. Streible states that oil's rise is a simple function of supply and demand, highlighting a few demand-side drivers: "Resiliency of the US economy has helped to support demand. We've got driving season right here. Any kind of interest rate cut could really be a tailwind for the crude oil market. If you get some of this loan, some of this debt burden behind us with lower interest rates, people are gonna have more money to spend and they're probably going to do it the easiest way, which is travel. So we are starting to see 2024 demand increasing. And we could see upward revisions in '25 and 2026."  Investors may look to the futures market or to ETFs to join the oil rally, Iaccino explains: "I always advise people the thing that's 100% correlated to crude oil is crude oil. So the best place...to play that out is WTI crude (MCL=F), that's my favorite. But, for the average investor, you can look at USO, that's one of the ETFs people generally default to."
