Hebei Logistics Group Metal Materials Invites You to Join CCIE2025SMM (20th) Copper Conference

Published: Feb 21, 2025 09:35
In the upcoming year of 2025, we anticipate that the global economy will face a series of complex and volatile challenges. With the conclusion of the US election, the uncertainty of global trade policies will further increase, presenting new issues for international trade cooperation. In the realm of geopolitics, ongoing conflicts and tensions show no significant signs of easing, posing threats not only to global security but also significantly impacting resource allocation and industrial layout. Against this macro backdrop, industrial transfer and supply chain restructuring have become key topics that we must closely monitor. At the industrial level, the trend of protectionism in mineral resources is on the rise, directly affecting the stability of global copper concentrate TCs. With the rapid expansion of global smelting capacity, the profit margins of copper smelters are further compressed, and the challenges faced by the industry are becoming increasingly severe. In the field of secondary copper raw materials, the advancement of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards and the "dual carbon" goals have significantly increased market attention to secondary copper. However, the "reverse invoicing" policy implemented in 2024 and the "Fair Competition Regulations" have had a profound impact on the secondary copper industry. Looking ahead to 2025, the changes in the landscape of the secondary copper industry will have a critical impact on the entire copper industry chain. Additionally, with the cancellation of tax subsidies and other incentive measures, the space for copper cathode trade will further narrow. We expect that the procurement ratio of copper processed materials between traders and smelters will show a more pronounced differentiation.

In this context, the "CCIE 2025SMM (20th) Copper Industry Conference and Copper Industry Expo" meticulously prepared by SMM will be grandly held in Nanchang, Jiangxi from April 22-25, 2025. Hebei Logistics Group Metal Materials Co., Ltd. will attend this conference in full force. We will keep pace with the times, aim at our goals, strive diligently, and move forward with courage and determination!

Chile's Water Crisis Threatens Atacama's Copper and Lithium Mining Amid 14-Year Drought
Chile’s most pressing crisis at present is the issue of water resources. The Atacama Desert in Chile is one of the driest regions in the world and also the core area for copper and lithium ore extraction. The local area has experienced a drought for as long as 14 years, and reservoir storage has fallen to only about 30%. For miners, water resources are not a secondary issue, but an indispensable key production factor in such processes as ore processing, dust suppression, and equipment cooling. The decline in ore grade has further exacerbated the predicament

US President Trump adjusted the national security tariffs on imports of steel, aluminum, and copper, lowering the tariff rates on derivative products made from these metals, streamlining compliance procedures, and preventing the declared value of imports from being understated.A senior Trump administration official said that, under a proclamation signed by Trump, the US would continue to maintain a 50% import tariff on imports of metal commodities such as steel, aluminum, and copper pursuant to Section 232 of the Trade Act of 1974, but would apply this rate to the price paid by US consumers. It is currently unclear how the selling price—and the resulting tariffs—would be determined.
