[19:15] copper is the most certain of the bull cases out there.

The prediction claimed copper would reach $5.00 to $5.25 per pound by end of 2025, but the period high during this window was $5.89 on 2025-07-24, well exceeding the $5.25 upper target, and the actual price at target date was $5.63, both of which surpass the predicted range, making the prediction correct on direction but the specific range claim was too conservative.
