Copper Rises Amid Hormuz Disruptions, U.S. Stockpiling -- Market Talk

Dow Jones06-04 23:56

1554 GMT - Copper prices rise in afternoon trading, with three-month futures on the LME up 1.1% to $13,941.50 a metric ton. Supply risks have intensified following the near closure of the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting copper supply chains through sulphur and sulphuric acid markets. China's restrictions on acid exports have added further pressure. Meanwhile, U.S. stockpiling has left inventories on the LME and Shanghai Futures Exchange relatively depleted, reinforcing perceptions of scarcity in Europe and Asia. "This runs the risk that the current price signals overstate underlying physical scarcity outside the U.S.," analysts at ANZ say. The firm expects copper to remain above $13,500 a ton this year and approach $14,000 by year-end. (giulia.petroni@wsj.com)
