LME three-month US$13,805/t (US$13.81/kg) and COMEX about US$13,780/t (US$13.78/kg), 11 November.\nMarket overview\nCopper posted its biggest weekly fall since March as the US midterm elections undercut two pillars of this year’s rally: the refined-copper tariff trade and the AI data-centre story. The LME official cash price fell 3.9% over the fortnight, from US$14,560/t on 29 October to US$13,992/t on 10 November. COMEX fell further, down about 6% from US$14.68/kg on 28 October, as its tariff premium drained away.\nLondon hit an intraday low of about US$13,630/t on 6 November, its weakest since late July, and ended the week down about 2.7%. A hotter-than-expected US October inflation reading took off another 1.6% on 10 November, as markets began pricing a possible Fed rate rise in December. Copper recovered 0.9% on 11 November as AI stocks rebounded after CoreWeave’s results.\nFunds have stepped back. The COMEX net long has fallen to 34,444 contracts, from 82,649 in mid-September. Even so, prices remain about 23% higher than a year ago and about 7% below September’s record.\nImpact of the US midterm elections\nDemocrats won both chambers of Congress on 3 November. Copper felt the result through two channels.\nTariffs. The Commerce Department’s recommended tariff on refined cathode — 15% from January 2027, rising to 30% in 2028 — has still not been approved. Saxo Bank’s Ole Hansen says the election result lowers the odds of that tariff, and that this matters more for prices in the near term than any shift in long-run demand. TD Securities adds that cost-of-living concerns ahead of the 2028 presidential election reduce the appetite for aggressive duties. Deutsche Bank cautions that Section 232 tariffs remain within the President’s power, so the risk is reduced, not removed.\nThe COMEX–LME spread shows the shift. COMEX traded more than US$700/t above LME in August and US$200–250/t above it a fortnight ago. That premium has now all but gone: on 11 November COMEX sat about US$25/t below LME three-month. With no premium left, there is little incentive to ship more copper into the US.\nData centres. Goldman Sachs estimates that states where Democratic lawmakers are more likely to restrict data centres account for about 45% of planned US capacity. The Economist, citing CSIS estimates, notes that existing US metals tariffs could add US$130 billion to planned data-centre construction costs by 2030. Both point to slower and costlier US build-outs. Some projects may be relocated or delayed rather than cancelled, but the demand impact is not yet clear.\nInventories and physical market\nThe gap between a well-stocked United States and a tight China widened. COMEX stocks reached a record of about 732,000 t. LME stocks rose 16% in a fortnight, from 274,000 t on 30 October to 316,625 t on 10 November, and 70.1% of LME stocks now sit in US warehouses — the highest US share since March 2019.\nIn China, Shanghai Futures Exchange warehouse stocks fell 24% in the week to 6 November, to 33,848 t, down from about 54,000 t in late October. That is the lowest level since early January 2024 and less than a day of Chinese consumption. These figures cover exchange warehouses only; bonded and other stocks in China are not included.\nEstimates of the US share of global stocks vary with how they are measured. The FT puts it at about 90% of combined LME and COMEX stocks, up from 20% two years ago. Reuters puts it at 85% across all three exchanges, and Morgan Stanley at about 80% of visible inventory. TD Securities estimates total US holdings, on and off exchange, at about 1.6 Mt.\nChina is paying up. The Yangshan import premium held at a record US$230/t for a third day on 11 November, up from US$188/t on 27 October. LME cash traded at a premium of about US$195/t to three-month, reflecting scarce nearby metal outside the US. Newly arrived US metal is now going into bonded LME warehouses rather than clearing customs, so it could still be shipped to Asia if Chinese bids hold.\nDemand and supply\nDemand. Physical demand is holding up better than sentiment. Chinese buyers are restocking while local smelters cut output in response to high ore costs and thin margins. In the US, distributor Border States says data-centre projects are still stretching lead times, with copper prices up 35% on a year ago. The main headwind is macroeconomic: hot US inflation has markets pricing a 25bp, or even 50bp, Fed rise in December, which is lifting the US dollar.\nSupply. Mine supply remains tight. ICSG data show world mine output down 0.9% in January–August, with Indonesian concentrate output down 29% and DRC concentrate down 26%. Wood Mackenzie expects Chilean output to fall 5.2% this year. CRU puts spot treatment charges near minus US$300/t, improving only to minus US$75/t by late 2027, as talks on the 2027 benchmark begin from this year’s US$0. BHP’s September-quarter copper output fell 19% to 400,700 t after bad weather in Chile and a conveyor failure at Carrapateena.\nFreeport-McMoRan. The Economist this week examines how Freeport plans to grow without new mines. On 4 November its board approved a US$4.5 billion expansion of Bagdad in Arizona, which will double output from about 91,000 t to 181,000 t a year over almost four years. Trials to leach copper from old stockpiles begin next year, and Grasberg — running at about 67% of normal mill rates in the September quarter — is expected to fully recover by late 2027. Freeport targets 2.0–2.3 Mt a year by 2030, up from about 1.4 Mt in 2026. The wider lesson: much of this decade’s new copper is likely to come from brownfield expansions and new processing technology rather than new discoveries.\nMarket outlook\nWe expect copper to consolidate between about US$13,300/t and US$14,300/t (US$13.30–14.30/kg) until Washington’s tariff intentions are clearer. TD Securities says a further US$500/t drift lower would not surprise, though China’s physical tightness should help limit the downside. Watch the December Fed meeting, any news on refined-copper tariffs, and the 2027 treatment-charge talks.\nConnectOre – a technology update\nMore copper from what is already mined. Freeport’s plan shows where many of the next tonnes will come from: leaching low-grade stockpiles and expanding existing operations, not only new discoveries. Australia has mature mines and large legacy stockpiles, so these technologies could deliver copper years sooner than greenfield projects, which can take 17–20 years to develop.\nConnectOre, ICAA’s digital knowledge platform, tracks research on stockpile and heap leaching, processing efficiency, water and zero-emission mining. It also supports the ICAA–UNSW strategy paper on cutting project development time from about 20 years towards 12.\nVisit: connectore.org\n","text":"\n**Copper: US$13,992/t (US$13.99/kg), LME official cash, 10 November.

We want to ensure that you get the information, content, and experiences that matter most to you. ConnectOre is committed to protecting the privacy of its stakeholders, communities, and other contacts.\n\n## Scope\n\nThis privacy policy applies to all personal data processed by full-time and part-time employees, volunteers when acting on behalf of ConnectOre contractors and partners doing business on behalf of ConnectOre, as well as all legal entities, all operating locations in all countries, and all business processes conducted by ConnectOre.\n\n## Information Collected\n\n#### What information do we collect?\n\nConnectOre collects the following personal data in line with the use purposes explained in a subsequent section:\n\n  * Your name and contact details\n  * Online profile data/usage\n  * Contact information\n  * Social media profile information\n  * Education and professional information\n  * Registration and participation in ConnectOre events and activities \n  * Information about service usage\n  * Cookies\n  * Authentication data\n  * Location information\n  * Author and peer review information\n  * Other information you upload or provide to us\n\n#### How do we use your information?\n\nConnectOre uses (and, where specified, shares) your personal information for the following purposes:\n\n  * To provide support or other services. ConnectOre may use your personal information to provide you with support or other services that you have ordered or requested. ConnectOre may also use your personal information to respond directly to your requests for information, including registrations for webinars, or other specific requests, or pass your contact information to the appropriate ConnectOre supplier or reseller for further follow-up related to your interests.\n  * To provide information based on your needs and respond to your requests. ConnectOre may use your personal information to provide you with notices of new product releases and service developments.\n  * To administer products. ConnectOre may contact you if you make use of (digital) products we offer, to confirm certain information (for example, that you did not experience problems in a download process). We may also use this information to confirm compliance with licensing and other terms of use and may share it with your company/institution.\n  * To assist in your participation in ConnectOre activities. ConnectOre will communicate with you, if you are participating in certain ConnectOre activities such as ConnectOre Summit, authoring or reviewing a ConnectOre article, or ConnectOre humanitarian activities.

We may use your information to prevent potentially illegal activities and to enforce our terms and conditions.\n  * To get feedback or input from you.

If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 16, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe that we might have any information from or about a child under age 16, please contact us.\n\n#### How will you know if the Privacy Policy is changed?\n\nConnectOre may update its Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make any material changes you will be notified by means of a notice on our website prior on the date the change becomes effective. We encourage you to periodically review this page for the latest information on our privacy practices.\n\n## Technical And Regulatory Information\n\n#### Logging practices\n\nConnectOre automatically records the Internet Protocol (IP) addresses of visitors. The IP address is a unique number assigned to every computer on the internet. Generally, an IP address changes each time you connect to the internet (it is a \"dynamic\" address). Note, however, that if you have a broadband connection, depending on your individual circumstance, the IP address that we collect may contain information that could be deemed identifiable. This is because, with some broadband connections, your IP address doesn't change (it is \"static\") and could be associated with your personal computer.\n\nAs well as recording the IP addresses of users, ConnectOre may also keep track of sites that users visited immediately prior to visiting ConnectOre's website and the search terms they used to find it. We keep track of the pages visited on ConnectOre's website, the amount of time spent on those pages and the types of searches done on them. Your searches remain confidential and anonymous. ConnectOre uses this information only for statistical purposes to find out which pages users find most useful and to improve the website.\nConnectOre also captures and stores information that you transmit. This may include:\n\n  * Browser/Device type/version\n  * Operating system used\n  * Media Access Control (MAC) address\n  * Date and time of the server request\n  * Volume of data transferred\n\n#### External links behaviour\n\nSome of the links on ConnectOre's websites link to other sites created and maintained by other public- and/or private-sector organizations. ConnectOre provides these links solely for your information and convenience. When you transfer to an outside website, you are leaving ConnectOre domain, and ConnectOre's information management policies no longer apply. ConnectOre encourages you to read the privacy statement of each external website that you visit before you provide any personal data.\n\n#### Cookies and web beacons\n\nCookies and web beacons are electronic placeholders that are placed on your device by websites to track your individual movements on that website over time. ConnectOre uses both session-based cookies (which last only for the duration of the user's session) and persistent cookies (which remain on your device and provide information about the session you are in and waits for the next time you use that site again).\n\nThese cookies and web beacons provide useful information to ConnectOre, enabling us to recognize repeat users, facilitate the user's access to and use of our sites, allows us to track usage behavior, and to balance the usage of our websites on all ConnectOre web servers.\nTracking cookies, third-party cookies, and other technologies such as web beacons may be used to process additional information, enable non-core functionalities on ConnectOre website and enable third-party functions (such as a social media \"share\" link). We may also include web beacons and other similar technology in promotional email messages to determine whether the messages have been opened.\n\n#### Do Not Track (DNT)\n\nThe online advertising industry has self-regulatory initiatives designed to provide consumers a choice in the types of ads they may see online and to conveniently opt-out from online behavioral ads served by some or all of the companies participating in these programs. Our websites do not respond to DNT consumer browser settings.\n\n#### Responses to legal requests\n\nConnectOre reserves the right to share your information to respond to duly authorized information requests of governmental authorities or where required by law.\n\n#### Your data rights\n\nConnectOre complies with all applicable data privacy laws and regulations including, but not limited to, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). Under these laws and regulations, you may have certain rights to your data. Should you wish to exercise any of these rights, please send an email request to john.fennell@copper.com.au with \"Data Privacy Request'' in the subject line and in the email please identify the specific privacy right you request assistance with. Please note additional information may be requested prior to fulfilling a request and that ConnectOre reserves the right to charge a fee, where permitted, to cover the cost of certain requests.\n\n#### How do I contact you if there is an issue?\nIf you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or about the use of your personal information, please feel free to contact us by email at john.fennell@copper.com.au"},"welcomeUrl":"https://connectore.org/app/welcome","welcomeTitle":"Welcome to ConnectOre and thanks for joining us!
