On the news front, there are signs of easing geopolitical tensions. On April 14, U.S. President Trump stated that the war with Iran is "over" and revealed that talks with Iran "may take place within the next two days" in Pakistan. As a result, precious metals and non-ferrous metals regained upward momentum. On April 14 local time, most base metals in London rose, with LME tin futures up 4.60% to USD 50,480.0 per ton, LME nickel up 2.89% to USD 18,210.0 per ton, LME copper up 1.86% to USD 13,296.0 per ton, LME zinc up 0.69% to USD 3,340.0 per ton, and LME lead up 0.65% to USD 1,934.5 per ton. Western Securities pointed out that in terms of industrial metals, domestic copper inventories are rapidly depleting, and under the expectation of tightening supply, it is likely to maintain strength. Specifically, the Peruvian government has revoked key authorizations for Southern Copper's Tia Maria copper mine project, creating new obstacles for this long-stalled project, which aims to produce 120,000 tons of copper annually. Meanwhile, influenced by the rapid rise in international commodity prices and the improvement of supply-demand relationships in some domestic industries, the national PPI turned from decline to increase year-on-year in March, with a month-on-month increase for six consecutive months, marking the largest increase in 48 months. Overall, while short-term pressures remain, the long-term outlook is optimistic.
