Trump announces 50% reciprocal tariff on Brazilian goods

Donald Trump’s recent announcement of imposing 50 per cent tariffs on copper imports has sent shockwaves through the market for the industrial metal. While US copper prices initially surged after the president’s threat, the global price on the London Metal Exchange took a hit as traders anticipated reduced demand for the metal.

Commodities analyst Tom Price at Panmure Liberum highlighted concerns about the potential impact on physical demand growth for copper worldwide. With the US relying on imports for about 60 per cent of its copper supply, the threat of tariffs could have far-reaching consequences. Stocks of copper on New York’s Comex exchange reached record highs this month in anticipation of Trump’s move, as the metal is a crucial component in electronics, construction, and industrial equipment.

Following Trump’s announcement, prices for copper on the Comex dropped by 2.1 per cent to $5.53 a pound on Wednesday morning, after a significant 13 per cent surge in the previous session. Ed Meir, a consultant to Marex, described the reaction in the copper market as “fast and furious,” emphasizing the potential impact of a 50 per cent tariff on US consumers.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick indicated in a CNBC interview that the duties could be implemented by the end of the month. Traders speculated that the rush to import copper into the US would likely slow down, with shipments scheduled to arrive after August 1 being rerouted to avoid the tariff implications.

The uncertainty surrounding the future of copper prices and demand has created a sense of apprehension in the market. As the situation continues to unfold, industry players are closely monitoring developments to assess the broader implications of Trump’s proposed tariffs on copper imports.
