Copper price changes over the past decade:
2016: 38.3 thousand yuan/ton
2017: 49.5 thousand yuan/ton
2018: 50.8 thousand yuan/ton
2019: 47.7 thousand yuan/ton
2020: 48.8 thousand yuan/ton
2021: 68.4 thousand yuan/ton
2022: 66.7 thousand yuan/ton
2023: 67.9 thousand yuan/ton
2024: 75.1 thousand yuan/ton
2025: about 78 thousand yuan/ton
Over these ten years, the most noticeable change in copper prices is not a steady climb, but an increasingly higher price center.
In 2016, it was still just over 30 thousand yuan per ton. By 2021, it surged to 60 thousand yuan. In 2024, it again stood above 70 thousand yuan. In the first half of 2025, the average Shanghai copper price has already reached 77.4 thousand yuan/ton.
Looking back, what about Zhu Bingren from more than 20 years ago—did he really have foresight!
When copper prices rose, he didn’t treat copper merely as a tool for making money. Instead, he acquired 125 tons of copper, mortgaged his property, and ultimately built the “Jiangnan Copper House.”
While others saw price fluctuations, he thought about how to turn copper into a piece that could be left behind.
Now looking back, copper prices will still rise and fall, but that copper house has remained. With the same copper, some people look at price, while others look at value.
