Copper tightening follows a significant decline in inventories
"Contracts for immediate delivery surged to a premium of $379/t to three-month futures on Monday, although it has since eased to around $150/t."
"This level is substantially higher than the near-zero premiums seen in May 2025 and a contango of approximately $100/t at the start of the year. This tightening in the Copper market follows a significant decline in inventories, which has dropped by roughly 176kt since the start of the year, now standing at just 95kt as of Tuesday, coupled with a tight supply in the concentrate market."
