The desk views copper's recent price action as a critical juncture shaped by tariff uncertainty, revealing an overshoot from current fundamentals. As noted in the full note from ING, copper fell over 3% after reaching a record high of $14,875/t amid reports of pending U.S. tariff decisions on refined copper. Early expectations favored a tariff implementation, contributing to soaring prices, but the lack of decisive policy has unwound this premium, indicating a potential recalibration ahead of robust market fundamentals. The volatility in this sector underscores the importance for traders to monitor industrial demand signals and geopolitical developments closely.
