Copper Rebounds Toward Record High

Copper futures in the US have risen above $5.6 per pound, nearing the record high of $5.8 from December 26th, with a projected annual gain of 45%. Supply risks have increased due to halted operations at Freeport-McMoRan's Grasberg mine in Indonesia and protests in Chile and Peru. Additionally, potential tariffs on copper by President Trump have influenced market dynamics, while demand remains strong due to electrification technologies and growth in data center and AI infrastructure spending.

ROI-Commodities buffeted by Trump whirlwind seek relief in 2026: Russell

Commodities faced significant volatility in 2025 due to U.S. President Trump's tariffs and policies, with ongoing impacts expected in 2026. While gold thrived in 2025, its future depends on U.S. policy stability and potential crises. Crude oil and LNG may face pressure from rising supply and unmet trade commitments. Copper prices surged amid tariff concerns, but U.S. imports may decline in 2026. Rare earths and critical minerals could benefit from continued U.S. investment to reduce reliance on China.

Shanghai copper falls on weaker Chinese demand, profit-booking

Shanghai copper prices fell 1.96% to 98,490 yuan per metric ton due to profit-taking and weaker demand in China. The decline follows record highs and is part of a broader risk-off sentiment among investors. The Yangshan copper premium decreased to $53 a ton, indicating reduced appetite for imported copper. Other metals showed mixed performance, with tin dropping 4.84% and nickel rising 3.71%. Investors are also closely watching the U.S. Federal Reserve's actions amid ongoing market volatility.
