Copper prices have surged, but may experience a pullback. Instead of relying on copper, consider investing in stocks that benefit from ‘greenflation’ – the clean energy transition. Société Générale recommends a basket of companies involved in climate technology, including Alcoa, Freeport-McMoRan, Teck Resources, Arcadium Lithium, Lithium Americas, NexGen Energy, Wheaton Precious Metals, and Ivanhoe Mines. These stocks have shown impressive gains over the past 12 months.
