Copper and Gold Maintain Upward Trend in Global Markets This Week

Since last week, copper and gold have sustained their positive momentum. According to the price mercurials for export products covering the period from April 7 to April 12, 2025, published by the Ministry of External Trade, these two mining commodities are now priced at $9,916.25 per ton for copper and $98.04 per gram for gold in global markets.

This week, copper is trading at $9,916.25 per ton, up from $9,791.15 the previous week, showing a slight increase. Similarly, gold’s price has climbed to $98.04 per gram, compared to $96.86 last week.

During the week of March 31 to April 5, 2025, copper had already recorded a slight increase, reaching $9,916.25 per ton, compared to $9,791.15 in the previous week. In parallel, gold also experienced an upward trend, rising from $96.86 to $98.04 per gram over the same period.

This rise is partly attributed to the halt of operations by DRC Gold Trading SA, one of the key gold mining companies in South Kivu. The company’s activities have been disrupted due to the worsening security situation in the region. Launched in January 2023, the company has been instrumental in efforts to regulate the gold supply chain in global markets.
