Copper down 0.30% but Aussy miners doing well... this should bode well here today hoping to bust through 500.

The electric car revolution has market participants focused on lithium, cobalt and graphite, all of which are key components of lithium-ion batteries. But how much will increasing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) impact copper prices?According to Ivan Glasenberg, CEO of Glencore (LSE:GLEN), the world's third-largest producer of copper, the rise of EVs will significantly boost demand for lithium, as well as other metals like copper, in the coming decades.Why? EVs require more copper wiring than standard internal combustion engines. In fact, while conventional cars typically contain about 20 kilograms of copper, for EVs the copper load is about three to four times that amount.And according to Glasenberg, copper demand from the EV sector could increase soon. He told investors at an industry conference in Barcelona on Tuesday (May 15) that "the electric vehicle revolution is happening and its impact is likely to be felt faster than expected." copper free industry reportIs the "looming copper supply crunch" fact or fiction?

Last year, Jean-Sebastien Jacques, CEO of global mining group Rio Tinto (ASX:RIO,LSE:RIO,NYSE:RIO), another major copper producer, said he expects demand for copper to rise as EVs take a growing share of the market."With 90 or more kilos of copper used in a full electric vehicle - three to four times more copper than used in a gas-powered car - it is clear to see the positive impact the use of electric vehicles could have on copper demand," he said.Similarly, BHP's (ASX:BHP,LSE:BLT,NYSE:BHP) Huw McKay, vice president of market analysis and economics, has called for a big boost in copper demand from the EV sector."Building the EV fleet will use about 11 million tonnes of copper. Subtract the amount that would have been used in the conventional vehicles 'displaced' by EVs, and that figure comes down to about 8.5 million tonnes of genuine new demand - equivalent to more than a third of total global copper demand today," he commented recently.Electric cars currently make up about 1 percent of new global vehicle sales, but should account for over 35 percent of sales by 2040, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance.electric car copper demandChart via Bloomberg.In Europe, sales of alternative-fuel models, such as fully electric cars and hybrid vehicles, jumped 36 percent in the first quarter of 2017, to 235,438 vehicles, according to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association.While that's impressive, the biggest increase in EV demand will come from China, says a report from Germany's University of Duisberg-Essen's Center for Automotive Research."As early as 2020, we expect annual sales of 4 million of new electric cars in China. The state-planned electric car quotas will give important impetus. However market share will accelerate from 2020 and as a result, we predict a 30 percent market share of new electric vehicles in China by 2025," the report states.There's no doubt that the EV boom is already on its way, and together with metals such as lithium, cobalt and graphite, copper seems to have a bright future ahead.Don't forget to follow us @INN_Resource for real-time news updates.Securities Disclosure: I, Priscila Barrera, hold no direct investment interest in any company mentioned in this article. copper free industry reportIs the "looming copper supply crunch" fact or fiction?

Just need a couple more days of slight Cu price rises and I reckon 550 is in sight. Good news from US and China today has definitely given a positive sentiment.

[rampant_bull] 19/5/2017 16:34

If it can push on mon and tues the chart will look good then whoosh back to 550+

[adp] 19/5/2017 16:13

bigdazzler, I can totally see why youve done that, Im tempted too. Been up to about 5 and back down to about 4 too many time recently.

[umitw] 19/5/2017 15:05

Cu is up 1.67%

[bigdazzler] 19/5/2017 15:04

Well that's me out for great Kaz trade too late to hold in the week around the £5 barrier. Another quality 30 pointer.

[plastow] 19/5/2017 14:37

Come on kaz push push and break out

[umitw] 19/5/2017 13:38

Cu is up 2.56 today. That is 1.23% up.

[adp] 19/5/2017 13:08

Odd copper chart today very flat

[smurfy2001] 19/5/2017 09:28

Can we push through that downtrend?

[teamwork1] 19/5/2017 08:49

Good start

[rampant_bull] 18/5/2017 16:38

Interesting recovery today

[adp] 18/5/2017 16:11

Nice recovery

[racg] 18/5/2017 14:27

to be honest, surprised it didn't fall more today. With the whole market in disarray and copper dropping, it augurs well for when we do get an uptick in copper prices.

[smurfy2001] 18/5/2017 13:23

Still following that downtrend.

[umitw] 18/5/2017 13:10

Cu is down over 2%, is this due to Trumps impeachment..?

[berberic] 18/5/2017 09:18

Poor old KAZ. Copper price slipped, quite a bit. Last time I checked 1.7%. As always, market overreacting to increased LME inventory. Just think if the copper requirement of the Silk road. And just read this morning Volvo announced major push to electric vehicles on the market by 2019 and no more diesel development. As this rate there will be a serious copper demand in the not too distant future driving price per tonne up. The average electric car battery needs around 11kg if copper if I recall correctly. Do your sums.
