正文(英文) | Copper prices rose on Thursday after a spate of production problems that threaten to cut supply, including a state of emergency in Peru, the world’s second-biggest producer. Copper for delivery in May rose 1.4% from Wednesday’s settlement price, touching $4.718 per pound ($10,379 per tonne). [Click here for an interactive chart of copper prices] “We’ve seen several reports this week from some of the major miners that they are struggling with diesel costs, steel costs, input costs in general, making it much more of a challenge to maintain production,” said Ole Hansen, head of the commodity strategy at Saxo Bank in Copenhagen.
Technical signals were also positive as LME copper found support at the 50-day moving average, Hansen added. Antofagasta on Thursday posted a 24% tumble in first-quarter copper production while Anglo American reported a 13% drop. A day earlier Peru said it would declare a state of emergency near Southern Copper Corp’s Cuajone mine in the face of growing protests against mining companies that have halted 20% of national copper output. Metals have cooled after rallying at the start of the year following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which triggered concerns about disruption to supply from the commodity-exporting heavyweight. Traders have priced in lower demand from China, though the outlook remains uncertain. Copper inventories extended their recovery Thursday after slumping to the lowest since 2005 in March.
