Approximately 200,000 metric tons of copper arrived in the United States in July, marking a record high for monthly inflows since IHS Markit began keeping records, with another approximately 110,000 metric tons stored at ports.

As traders position themselves ahead of President Trump's decision on import tariffs for refined copper, copper is flowing into the United States at the fastest pace in at least 12 years.
In July, approximately 200,000 metric tons of copper arrived in the United States, marking the largest single-month inflow since IHS Markit shipping data records began. An additional 110,860 metric tons of copper are stored at U.S. ports (not included in the London Metal Exchange's warrant system).
The White House has not indicated when Trump will make a decision on refined copper tariffs. Supporters believe that imposing tariffs will encourage domestic mining and processing investment, while opponents argue that it will drive up costs for manufacturers.
