Countdown to the US Copper Tariff Decision, Supply - Demand of "Computing - power Metals" to Change

In July last year, the US government announced a tariff plan for copper. Previously, only a 50% tariff was imposed on semi - finished copper products, while refined copper was temporarily exempted. However, it is planned to impose tariffs on refined copper in phases starting from 2027. Whether the plan will be finally implemented will be decided at the end of June. The US Department of Commerce needs to submit an investigation report on the "Section 232 tariff" before June 30th and make a final decision based on it. As the time for the release of the US "Section 232 tariff" investigation report on June 30th approaches, the global metal market related to AI computing power will experience a new round of fluctuations. International investment banks such as Goldman Sachs analyzed that if the US implements a new round of tariff policies on copper, US buyers may start large - scale stockpiling. Currently, the copper inventory on the US COMEX has exceeded 650,000 tons, reaching a record high. At the same time, in the international market, the supply shortage of small metals such as tungsten, tin, tantalum, and indium, which are deeply tied to the AI computing power industry chain, may further intensify.
