The upcoming US decision on copper import tariffs is poised to significantly affect the copper market, with the Commerce Secretary's recommendation expected by June 30. Per the full note from ing-think, the market has already reacted, reflected in the widening COMEX-LME spread, which now stands at approximately $400 per ton, indicating substantial tariff risk pricing. The positioning around copper is currently robust due to factors like tight supply chains and heightened demand driven by AI technology, supporting copper's resiliency despite broader economic pressures. Traders should remain attuned to copper price movements, particularly as they align with macroeconomic indicators and geopolitical tensions.
