Global price of lead, tin , copper and silver may 27, 2026

Approximate global benchmark prices on May 27, 2026:

Metal	Approx. Price per kg (USD)	Approx. Price per metric ton (USD)	Classification
Lead	~US$2.02/kg	~US$2,020/ton	Base metal
Tin	~US$54.2/kg	~US$54,200/ton	Base / solder metal
Copper	~US$10.4/kg	~US$10,400/ton	Industrial base metal
Silver	~US$2,430/kg	~US$2.43 million/ton	Precious metal

Notes:

• Copper remained one of the most important industrial metals in 2026 due to EVs, transformers, motors, and power infrastructure demand.
• Tin prices were unusually high because of electronics demand and constrained supply.
• Silver had a major rally due to both industrial use (solar panels/electronics) and investment demand.
• For electronics manufacturing:
  • Copper = wires, PCB traces, motors
  • Tin = solder
  • Silver = high-end solder, contacts, solar electronics
  • Lead = traditional solder/batteries

Typical commodity grouping:

• Lead, tin, copper = base metals
• Silver = precious metal
• All four together = non-ferrous metal commodities

global price of lead, tin , copper and silver may 27, 2025

Approximate global benchmark prices on May 27, 2025:

Metal	Approx. Price per kg (USD)	Approx. Price per metric ton (USD)	Classification
Lead	~US$1.96/kg	~US$1,960/ton	Base metal
Tin	~US$32–33/kg	~US$32,000–33,000/ton	Base / solder metal
Copper	~US$9.5–9.8/kg	~US$9,500–9,800/ton	Industrial base metal
Silver	~US$1,070/kg	~US$1.07 million/ton	Precious metal

Approximate changes from 2025 → 2026:

• Lead: about +3%
• Tin: about +67%
• Copper: about +7–10%
• Silver: about +127%

For electronics and electrical industries:

• Tin had one of the biggest impacts on solder cost.
• Copper strongly affected wire/cable and transformer prices.
• Silver affected solar panels, contacts, and silver-bearing solder alloys.
• Lead remained important mainly for batteries and traditional solder.

how many percent increase in value from 2025 to 2026?

Using the approximate 2025 and 2026 global prices:

Metal	2025	2026	Approx. % Increase
Lead	US$1.96/kg	US$2.02/kg	+3%
Tin	US$32.5/kg	US$54.2/kg	+67%
Copper	US$9.65/kg	US$10.4/kg	+8%
Silver	US$1,070/kg	US$2,430/kg	+127%

Percentage increase formula:

$\%\ Increase = \frac{2026\ Price - 2025\ Price}{2025\ Price}\times100$

Example for copper:

$\frac{10.4-9.65}{9.65}\times100 \approx 7.8\%$

Summary:

• Silver had the biggest surge.
• Tin also had a very strong increase due to electronics demand and supply constraints.
• Copper increased moderately because of EVs and power infrastructure demand.
• Lead was relatively stable compared to the others.
