At present, the pattern of iron ore fundamentals has not changed significantly, the expected realization of supply contraction and the continuous decline of inventory confirm the strength of its fundamentals, while the disk is still in a high discount state, forming a strong support to the price. Good fundamentals superimposed macro benefits, resulting in prices repeatedly hit new highs. For mature wood, the accumulation rate of inventory is lower than expected, at the same time, the environmental protection and production restriction is stronger than in the past, and the supply can shrink. Last week, the spot rose less than expected, resulting in a sharp narrowing of the base difference and a rise in the hot roll, which restricted the increase of the disk surface. However, this situation has been significantly improved. Today, the spot increase of the screw coil has greatly exceeded the increase of the disk surface, and the thread base difference has expanded to 89 yuan / ton. Hot coil base difference has also returned to the discount state, under the current resonance, the price shock upward trend remains unchanged.

Peru sees 1 million t/y copper output boost within five to six years
Peru's Energy and Mines Minister Guillermo Shinno said the country expects to add about 1 million tonnes of annual copper production within five to six years through new mining projects. The world's third-largest copper producer anticipates 2026 output of 2.5 to 2.7 million tonnes, roughly unchanged from 2023 as declining ore grades and recurring social conflicts weigh on supply. The newly elected government is seeking to reverse that stagnation by cutting red tape; in the two months since taking office, mining companies have stepped up engagement with the ministry.

Spanish-language mining media report that BHP and Amazon have rolled out the first lower-emissions copper pilot at Escondida using Environmental Attribute Certificates, certifying emissions reductions within the mining setting rather than offsetting them elsewhere. Unveiled on 22 September 2026, the pilot leverages Escondida's renewable electricity and desalinated water, with Amazon retiring the certificates to match lower-carbon attributes to its AI infrastructure. Escondida produces about 1.2 million tonnes of copper annually as the world's largest mine, and the label is expected to serve growing demand for low-carbon metal procurement.
