On the macro front, US Treasury yields and the US dollar index continued to strengthen, supported by strong employment data and high inflation expectations. Market expectations for a Fed rate cut this year have largely subsided, with some even betting on a rate hike as early as September. This high-interest-rate environment is suppressing copper prices. On the fundamental front, domestic social inventories decreased slightly this week, and imported copper arrivals decreased, but downstream buyers remained hesitant due to high prices, resulting in weak purchasing. Supply-side disruptions were frequent. Chiles Antofagasta mine was partially shut down due to the earthquake, and supply disruptions from Peru and the Democratic Republic of Congo continued. The DRC also raised the tariff rate on strategic minerals such as lithium to 10%. In the short term, the US refined copper import tariff decision is imminent. Currently, the COMEX premium relative to LME is about 6%. If the tariff is implemented, it will accelerate copper inflows into the US and tighten overseas markets, providing support for prices. In summary, with both macro pressures and supply-side disruptions, copper prices are expected to remain volatile in the short term. Attention should be paid to tariff policies and changes in macroeconomic data. In the spot market, trading was relatively stable today. Copper prices are at low levels, prompting downstream buyers to purchase on dips. With delivery approaching and the import window closing, market supply appears to be tightening, leading to reluctance among holders to sell and further narrowing of the spot discount.According to Interfax news agency, the Kazakh Ministry of Energy stated that Kazakhstans oil production is expected to reach 98 million tons in 2026.

New FTX chief says bankrupt crypto exchange could restart

According to Chief Executive Officer John Ray, the bankrupt cryptocurrency exchange FTX is considering ways to resurrect its operations. He made the announcement to the Wall Street Journal on Thursday.


According to Ray, who took over the company's leadership in November, a task group has been established to look at reviving FTX.com, the organization's primary international exchange.


The CEO also said in an interview with the Journal that he would research if resurrecting FTX's international exchange would generate more value for the company's clients than his team could get by simply selling the platform or liquidating its assets.


Following the news, FTT, the native token of FTX, increased by around 30%.


I'm relieved Mr. Ray is now only pledging to restart the exchange after months of blocking such attempts! Sam Bankman-Fried, the founder and former CEO of FTX, said in a tweet.


Bankman-Fried said, "I'm still waiting for him to eventually acknowledge FTX US is solvent and return clients' money.


An inquiry for comment from Reuters was not immediately answered by an attorney representing FTX.


Bankman-Fried is accused of robbing the exchange's users of billions of dollars to settle debts accrued by his cryptocurrency-focused hedge fund, Alameda Research. He's denied the allegations of fraud.


Customer money' future, however, is still unknown. In a note to creditors earlier this week, FTX said that since declaring bankruptcy in November, hackers had stolen nearly $415 million in cryptocurrency from its worldwide and American exchanges.
