U.S. tariff threat tightens copper availability as LME three-month tests $14,343 a ton
A potential U.S. import tariff is reshaping the copper market by pulling metal into the United States and tightening availability elsewhere. LME three-month copper rose as high as $14,343 per metric ton on Tuesday after 65,400 tons were ordered for withdrawal from LME warehouses in recent days. Traders have been arbitraging a higher COMEX premium by moving copper into the U.S., pushing COMEX inventories to a record 675,185 tons after 46 straight days of increases. Glencore’s CEO said copper shipped into the U.S. is unlikely to be exported again because of the costs, leaving what had been expected to be a surplus market looking far tighter in practice.

Revenue rose to $2.30 billion from $2.07 billion in the second quarter of 2025.

Canada’s economy expands 0.3% in May, topping forecasts; June estimate points to 0.2% gain
Canada’s real GDP rose 0.3% in May, outpacing economists’ expectations, and an advance estimate showed a further 0.2% increase in June, Statistics Canada said. The figures put second-quarter annualized growth on track to top 3%, above the Bank of Canada’s 2.5% projection. Brent crude averaged above US$100 a barrel in May, while Western Canada Select averaged US$83 a barrel. The combination of firm economic momentum and high oil prices has strengthened Canada’s energy-export performance and helped support Brent prices.
