Chilean copper production fell 9.4% year on year in July to 403,400 tonnes, reinforcing concerns about global mine and refined supply. However, high prices reduced Chinese cathode-rod operating rates and narrowed import premiums, indicating weaker immediate buying. The market therefore remains structurally supported by supply constraints but vulnerable to short-term corrections at elevated prices.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"567\" height=\"189\" src=\"https:\/\/metarexllcco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/METAREX-NEWS-AGENTS-LOGO1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18968\" style=\"width:113px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/metarexllcco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/METAREX-NEWS-AGENTS-LOGO1.jpg 567w, https:\/\/metarexllcco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/METAREX-NEWS-AGENTS-LOGO1-400x133.jpg 400w, https:\/\/metarexllcco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/METAREX-NEWS-AGENTS-LOGO1-430x143.jpg 430w, https:\/\/metarexllcco.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/METAREX-NEWS-AGENTS-LOGO1-150x50.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LME copper retreated to $14,218.50 per tonne after reaching a record $14,437 during the previous week.
