Copper Futures News
Here are the latest market news and insights surrounding the copper prices based on Orient Futures’ Weekly Updates Report on the Fundamental Data of Copper Industry Chain dated 17/07/2023, as well as other relevant sources.
Supply and Demand for Copper
Global copper warehouse inventories showed a mixed trend. Inventory increased in COMEX Copper, while LME Copper inventory decreased. However, inventory in bonded areas saw a decline.
The overall global inventory increased, including both China and overseas inventory. The marginal change in inventory provided less support, weakening the pattern of internal strength and external weakness.
On the supply side, copper ore production is showing signs of recovery. However, concerns about potential supply disruptions have resurfaced, with particular attention on the Las Bambas copper mine.
According to a report by SMM, the Las Bambas copper mine in Peru was under the “Peruvian Armed Protection Period.” The set expiration date for it is by the end of June or early July.
The “Peruvian Armed Protection Period” is a designated timeframe in Peru when armed security forces are deployed to safeguard strategic installations. This includes mining operations like the Las Bambas copper mine. It aims to protect critical infrastructure, mitigate risks from protests or unrest, and ensure the smooth operation of vital industries like mining, which is crucial for Peru’s economy.
Following the expiration, there is a possibility of community road blockages and strikes resurfacing, leading to potential disruptions in production at Peruvian copper mines. These disruptions could result in increased interruptions to the mining operations.
The increase in processing fees may also impact copper production. Additionally, monitoring risks in South American mines and transport logistics in Africa is crucial.
Smelters are experiencing profitable processing, stimulating output, which is expected to accelerate in August and September.
Import losses have widened, potentially leading to a decline in net imports of refined copper. Overseas production rates remain slow, warranting observation of smelters in Europe and South America.
Limited actual demand growth is constrained by the rebound in copper price, and monitoring differences between European, American, and emerging markets is advisable.
