SMM6 12: this afternoon, European Central Bank President Draghi delivered a speech, European Central Bank Deputy President Gindos (Luis de Guindos) delivered a speech.

On the data side, China's May PPI annual rate (%), released in the morning, is a leading indicator of consumer inflation-when producers need higher costs to buy raw materials, usually higher prices will be passed on to consumers, indicating a rise in inflation in the future. If the producer price index rises, it may tighten the central bank's policy to the detriment of the Chinese economy, which is not conducive to Australian exports, given that China is Australia's largest trading partner. As a result, China's producer price index rose, unfavorable to the Australian dollar, but the impact is low.

China's annual CPI rate (%) in May, inflation data is one of the main factors determining the central bank's monetary policy. If inflation is high, the people's Bank of China will tighten its policies to the detriment of the economy. Given that China is Australia's largest trading partner, China's economy is slowing and is not conducive to Australian exports. As a result, rising inflation in China is bad for the Australian dollar.

In the afternoon, it was announced that the amount of social financing in China in May (100 million yuan), China's M2 annual rate of money supply in May (%), due to the close relationship between the amount of money supply and expenditure, the increase in supply indicates an increase in future spending, which will help accelerate China's economic growth. Australia, as China's largest trading partner, the improvement of China's economy has helped to boost Australia's exports and thus accelerate Australia's economic growth. As a result, an increase in the money supply is good for the Australian dollar.

In the evening, it was announced that the US non-quarterly CPI annual rate (%), the US non-quarterly CPI index in May, and the US non-quarterly CPI annual rate (%), is one of the important indicators of US inflation. The Federal Reserve uses this data to adjust monetary policy, thereby affecting the exchange rate of the US dollar in the short term.

The week ended June 7, the United States EIA crude oil inventory changes (10,000 barrels), the United States as of June 7 EIA gasoline inventory changes (10, 000 barrels), the United States as of June 7, the week EIA refining inventory changes (10, 000 barrels), this is a U. S. indicator, inventory increase or decrease, will affect crude oil prices, and then have an impact on the Canadian dollar, because Canada's crude oil exports account for a large proportion of the economy. The impact is greater than the American Petroleum Institute's weekly crude oil inventory changes.

What Could a Cobre Panamá Restart Mean for Global Copper Supply? [SMM Analysis]
Cobre Panamá could again become a major source of global copper supply if Panama and First Quantum agree on a new operating framework. The mine produced 330.9 kt of copper in 2023 and historically supplied around 1% of global output. While stockpile processing has resumed, fresh mining remains suspended. Any restart would likely be phased, with timing dependent on negotiations, legal conditions and operational remobilisation.

Vedanta has unveiled a major investment plan, under which Vedanta Copper intends to invest $2.3 billion in India and Saudi Arabia over the next three to four years, targeting annual copper production of more than 1 million tonnes by 2030. The company aims to produce 500,000 tonnes annually in both India and Saudi Arabia, alongside existing production of 100,000 tonnes in Fujairah, UAE. Around $2 billion will be invested in Saudi copper mining, smelting and rod projects, with an investment decision on the proposed Saudi copper smelter expected this quarter. Vedanta is also seeking to restart its Tuticorin copper smelter in India, which has been closed since 2018. The company expects a court ruling within three months and, subject to approval, plans to invest $250 million in refurbishing the facility, targeting a restart within eight to nine months and annual copper output of 250,000 tonnes.

London BTC flags copper and antimony at Nevada Black Star
London BTC Company Limited (LSE:BTC, OTCQB:VINZF) announced on 5 October 2026 initial on-site pXRF results from its Black Star gold-critical minerals project in Pershing County, Nevada. A maiden programme collected 69 rock-chip samples along a 2.5km corridor between the Western and Eastern targets. pXRF readings showed antimony up to 0.44% Sb, copper up to 30.0% Cu, bismuth up to 0.73% Bi and silver up to 811 ppm Ag, with the antimony-copper association appearing at both ends of the corridor. The signature mirrors a historical 1985 sample 120m south of the claims (>1% Sb, 2% Cu, 700 ppm Ag). Earlier due-diligence sampling returned up to 16.23 g/t gold and 50.5 g/t silver. Samples are now with MSALABS for laboratory assays, with full multi-element geochemistry including antimony, tungsten and copper to follow. Copper, as a by-product credit, adds strategic appeal under US critical-minerals policy, though results remain preliminary field readings.
