Copper Prices Dip Amid US Tariff Uncertainty and Rising Inventories
Copper prices experienced a modest decline as traders assessed risks related to potential US tariffs on refined copper imports and easing supply concerns. Inventories in London Metal Exchange warehouses rose to a two-month high, partly due to increased inflows into US warehouses amid tariff uncertainties. The resolution of a major Chilean mine strike also eased supply worries. Despite these factors, demand optimism persists due to global energy transitions and data-center expansions, while production challenges continue at major mines.
