COMEX settled at US$6.56/lb (about US$14.46/kg) on 21 October, little changed on the week. Copper is still up about 17% this year, but the conversation in London moved from scarcity to stocks as LME inventories rose 8% in a week.\nThe bigger shift is the spread between the two exchanges. COMEX now trades below LME, about US$80/t under LME cash, after carrying a premium of around US$420/t at the end of July on the threat of US tariffs. The Copper Journal’s John Gross calculates that the October average has flipped to an LME premium, from a COMEX premium in June. With the tariff decision stalled and more than 700,000 t sitting in COMEX warehouses, the US market is well supplied and the tariff premium has largely gone.\n*LME Week: the view from London\nThe metals world packed into London for LME Week (19–23 October), and the mood was confident. Delegates at Monday’s LME Metals Seminar at the QEII Centre voted copper the industrial metal with the best price outlook, and Goldman Sachs used the week to lift its year-end target. \nNot everyone was cheering: Macquarie’s Alice Fox told a briefing that copper is “way above where it ought to be given global stocks.” \nBehind the chatter, the exchange itself is in good health: trading volumes have boomed as its reform programme, launched after the nickel crisis, restored confidence.\nWhat came out of the week:\n•    Following the metal to America: The LME listed Owensboro, Kentucky as a Good Delivery Point for copper and approved new warehouses there and in New Orleans.\n•    Physical reform: From 1 December warehouses must comply with an updated Warehouse Agreement. LME copper will also need a Certificate of Analysis and an indelible cast reference for traceability.\n•    Green premium, zero for now: CPAL’s first sustainable copper assessment found buyers would pay nothing above the usual US$130–180/t Rotterdam premium. Low-carbon producers such as Montanwerke Brixlegg say the definition is too broad.\n•    2027 premiums: Aurubis has set a record US$347/t European premium, up 10%, and producers are offering record premiums for next year’s physical deliveries.\nMarket overview\nStocks are rebuilding. LME available stocks reached a two-month high of 147,450 t on 20 October after 8,225 t flowed into US warehouses, and available tonnage is up 40% in a week. COMEX holds about 718,000 t, and SHFE stocks have climbed to about 74,000 t from 58,744 t in early October. \nA tech-stock selloff on 15 October briefly pushed three-month copper to a near two-week low of US$14,256/t before a weaker dollar helped it recover. Yet LME cash still sits about US$180/t over three-month, so prompt metal remains tight even as headline stocks rise.\nSupply risk eased. Workers at Antofagasta’s Centinela mine ended the strike that began on 7 October, a week after Escondida’s supervisors approved a new contract.\nMacro and regional themes\nUnited States. The FOMC decides on 28 October, after September’s rate rise to 3.75–4.00% and a 3.7% CPI print. A further hike would lift the dollar and the cost of carrying the US stockpile. The refined copper tariff is still undecided. Deutsche Bank’s Daniel Ghali argues the threat reflects a wider national-security shift on critical minerals, and that freight costs would discourage large US re-exports even without a tariff.\nChina. Buyers are cautious at these prices, although the Yangshan import premium touched a four-year high of US$135/t last week. Rising SHFE stocks after Golden Week are the number to watch.\nEurope. Record producer premiums reflect thin regional supply after heavy shipments to the US.\nAustralia. In local terms copper is worth about A$20,400/t, a strong backdrop for local producers. With AASB S2 now in force, their emissions data will be scrutinised alongside their earnings.\nSupply and demand outlook\nBanks are lifting targets even as physical indicators soften. Goldman Sachs now sees an ex-US deficit of 950 kt in 2026 and 220 kt in 2027. It also notes that the median mine takes more than 16 years from discovery to first production, so higher prices cannot quickly deliver new metal. Morgan Stanley warns that slower US stockpiling would make the global market look looser. The ICSG still expects refined surpluses, and Wood Mackenzie sees a slight surplus in 2026.\nStrategy and outlook\nLondon left the industry bullish on the long run and more cautious on the next few weeks. \nWe expect copper to hold a US$14,200–14,900/t range into November, with the 28 October FOMC decision and any US tariff announcement as the likely triggers for a break.\nFour signals to watch:\n•    LME stock builds: further US-bound inflows would test the backwardation.\n•    China: whether the Yangshan premium holds as SHFE stocks rise.\n•    2027 terms: cathode premiums are settling at records, while 2027 TC/RC talks start from a 2026 benchmark of zero.\n•    Tariff timing: a confirmed tariff would pull more metal into the US; a further delay could release some of the COMEX stockpile. The US midterm elections on 3 November add another layer. Reuters reported in September that the White House had stalled the decision over affordability concerns ahead of the vote, so a ruling may wait until after the polls.\nConnectOre – A new technology update\nReport once, count everywhere\nMining’s reporting burden has been fragmentation: the same emissions reported many times over, to different standards on different cycles. That is changing. The ISSB has absorbed TCFD and SASB, Australia’s AASB S2 is now law, and GRI 14 has set a mine-site benchmark from January 2026. The task shifts from filling templates to financial-grade data, with governance, controls and assurance to match the annual accounts.\nThe collaboration proof point: the Copper Mark, ICMM, the Mining Association of Canada and the World Gold Council are merging four standards into one, covering close to 100 companies and 600 operations in 60 countries.

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. ConnectOre may send you information such as update messages related to those activities (such as but not limited to the event's content, and event logistics)\n  * To update you on relevant ConnectOre events and opportunities. ConnectOre may communicate with you regarding relevant ConnectOre events and opportunities.\n  * To protect ConnectOre content and services. 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. In order to deliver products and services of most interest to our stakeholders, from time to time, we may ask you to provide us input and feedback (for example through surveys).\n\n#### How can you control your information?\n\nYou can control the information we have about you and how we use as follows:\n\n  * If you are a registered guest for ConnectOre Annual Summit 2021, any request for review, revise or correction of your personal data can be sent to john.fennell@copper.com.au specifying your request.\n\n#### Personal data about minors and children\n\nConnectOre does not knowingly collect data from or about children under 16 without the permission of parent(s)/guardian(s). 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!
