Traditionally, copper has been used in the electrical industry and closer to home, the as the plates in the humble but crucial car batteries.
But let us look at the fine print regarding such a shortage, shall we?
Remember the earthquake in Chile a while back? I recalled reading something which said that the quake affected the transport links to the mines itself.
I wonder how long this trend will continue. Mines are really expensive to start and those existing ones are definitely looking at the law of decreasing returns.
The effects of such price rise also has a spill over effect in Malaysia itself. I wonder which of the areas or properties near the tin mines in Perak as going for a song right now?
