Institutions broadly remain bullish on the global copper supply-demand tightness, with copper concentrate treatment charges falling below -$100/dry ton, a historically rare negative territory. Additionally, the Grasberg copper mine's full-capacity timeline has been pushed back, with supply-side constraints continuing to support upside expectations for copper prices.
The broader copper sector rallied in tandem, with Southern Copper Corp up 4.45%, Taseko Mines up 2.74%, and Ero Copper up 2.30%, reflecting strong sector-wide momentum.
