Copper prices declined 2.50% this week, reversing a sharp rally as investors locked in profits following a historic surge across the metals complex. This retreat was exacerbated by a nascent rebound in the US Dollar and a significant 20% increase in CMC copper margins, a move triggered after prices hit record highs to curb extreme volatility. However, supply side pressures intensified as Glencore reported an 11% drop in 2025 output to 851,600 tons, while Antofagasta saw a 1.6% decline to 653,700 tons due to Chile’s drought and regulatory fines. Conversely, China’s NBS Non-Manufacturing PMI fell to 49.4 in January, the lowest since late 2022, signaling cooling demand. However, long-term support persists through massive investment in AI data centers, EV infrastructure, and electrification. Additionally, recurring tariff threats from President Trump have driven investors toward copper as a hard-asset hedge against dollar instability.
