Copper and Tin Prices Hit Record Highs Amid Supply Concerns and Geopolitical Uncertainty

Copper and tin prices reached record highs on Wednesday due to supply concerns and speculative buying amid geopolitical tensions. Copper's surge was driven by mine disruptions and anticipated U.S. tariffs, despite a stronger dollar. Tin also saw significant gains, with other base metals trading higher. Analysts note that healthy fundamentals in commodities like copper and tin attracted investors, though the strengthening dollar presented a headwind for prices.
