Copper Prices Rise on Tariff Uncertainty

Bloomberg Markets •
×

Copper prices climbed for a second consecutive day as tariff policy uncertainty weighed on the US dollar. The metal's gains came alongside higher gold and silver prices amid broader market concerns. Traders are watching closely as the Supreme Court recently blocked President Trump's emergency powers for setting reciprocal trade duties.

Morgan Stanley's Amy Gower, a Metals & Mining Commodities Strategist, discussed the market dynamics with Bloomberg's Joumanna Bercetche on Horizons Middle East and Africa. The administration responded to the court ruling by implementing an alternative 15% global levy on imports. This policy shift continues to create volatility across commodities markets.

With ongoing trade tensions and currency fluctuations, copper remains well supported as a safe-haven asset. The metal's performance reflects broader market anxiety about US tariff policy and its economic implications. Investors are particularly focused on how these trade measures will impact industrial demand and supply chains in the months ahead.
