RE: Copper just crashed 18%31 Jul 2025 05:38
"Fog,it’s not an exemption,he has slapped 50% tariff on copper imports starting Friday,hopefully this is just a knee jerk reaction to the news."

Copper crashed yesterday precisely because Trump has exempted ores and concentrates from 50% tariffs...It now seems that only pipes and wires will be subject to this.
The stockpiling and copper price surge over the last few months was predicated on the assumption that the new tariffs would capture "everything copper". Now it's unwound violently...
Glenda share price YTD has seen little benefit to that copper price surge, but unfortunately I suspect it will now take a disproportionate hit this morning. Copper mining was only around a quarter of 2024's EBIT, so hopefully it's not a -10% hit job...
