Base metals Copper Pricing notice

Fastmarkets’ daily price assessment for copper grade A cathode ER premium, bonded in-whs Shanghai (MB-CU-0383) was originally published at $80-90 per tonne on June 10. This has now been corrected as $75-80 per tonne.

The copper grade A cathode SX-EW premium, bonded in-whs Shanghai (MB-CU-0382) was wrongly published at $75-80 per tonne on the same date. It has now been corrected as $70-75 per tonne.

Both prices were correctly mentioned in the pricing rationale of the copper grade A cathode premium, in-whs Shanghai which was set at $70-80 per tonne on June 10 to reflect the downward momentum for the day.

US aluminium demand destruction
The US aluminium industry debates demand destruction following tariffs
The US aluminium industry is experiencing challenges related to tariffs, which have contributed to higher prices and premiums, raising questions about potential impacts on demand. Alcoa's CEO has noted that sustained high prices could affect the domestic market. While trade agreements might provide some relief, analysts expect premiums to remain elevated in the near term. However, aluminum demand is projected to grow over the long term, supported by the energy transition and clean energy projects. To meet this demand, the industry will need to increase production, restart idle smelters and address factors such as electricity costs and global competition.
