Copper futures climbed above $6.6 per pound on Tuesday, rising for a second straight session, supported by signs of tightening global supply and expectations for constrained mine output. Traders remained cautious over potential US import tariffs on copper, which have continued to redirect metal from international markets into US warehouses. The Democratic Republic of Congo also recently imposed an export ban on copper concentrate, although the move is unlikely to have a major impact on global supplies. Meanwhile, the long-term outlook for copper extraction and production is becoming increasingly constrained by declining ore grades, environmental regulations and geopolitical risks. On the demand side, copper continues to benefit from robust consumption driven by the global shift toward electrification and the expansion of artificial intelligence data centers.
