IPC Index — Mexico MarketCopper futures climbed above $5 per pound on Tuesday, reaching a near two-week high as investors positioned ahead of a key industry gathering in Shanghai this week, where miners are expected to push for tougher supply terms for 2026. The global copper-processing sector has faced record low annual treatment and refining charges over the past year as metal-processing capacity in China outpaced mined production. In Chile, state-owned Codelco proposed a record $330 per ton premium for metal sold to South Korea, above the $325 per ton offered to European clients. Copper also benefited from renewed optimism that the US Federal Reserve could cut interest rates in December, following dovish signals from policymakers. Markets now price in an 81% chance of a 25 basis point reduction next month, up sharply from 42.4% a week ago.
