The Trump administration is introducing artificial intelligence into the pricing system for critical minerals, attempting to reshape the global metal market landscape.
According to media reports citing three informed sources, the Trump administration plans to use an AI program developed by the Pentagon to establish reference prices for critical minerals as part of a plan to build a global metal trading network.
The report states that the AI pricing model will initially focus on at least four critical minerals: germanium, gallium, antimony, and tungsten, and will gradually expand to other varieties.
Following the announcement, base metal prices surged, with London tin rising over 4%, London nickel increasing nearly 4%, and London copper climbing over 2%.
