LME copper prices closed at $8,234/mt overnight, a gain of 0.75%. Trading volume was 21,000 lots and open interest stood at 274,000 lots. The most active SHFE 2309 copper contract prices closed at 68,220 yuan/mt overnight, up 0.6%. Trading volumes stood at 26,000 lots and open interest stood at 152,000 lots.

On the macro front, the number of people applying for unemployment benefits in the United States recorded 239,000 in the week ending August 12, lower than the expected 240,000, indicating that the labour market remained tight. In addition, China's monetary policy implementation report stated that it will resolutely prevent the risk of exchange rate overshoot, and the yuan rebounded. In terms of fundamentals, the spot quotes in east China rose sharply, mainly due to the relatively tight spot cargoes and the drop in copper prices. Driven by low inventories, spot quotes in south China also rose sharply. Copper prices moved downward, boosting downstream demand. Copper prices will have limited upside room in the near future.

Anax Launches Whim Creek Heap-Leach Feasibility Study After Copper Recoveries Reach 77–80%

Anax Metals has launched a heap-leach feasibility study at its Whim Creek copper-zinc project in Western Australia, assessing a second processing route alongside its planned concentrator. Recent CSIRO column tests achieved 77–80% copper extraction and more than 90% zinc extraction from lower-grade ores. The study, targeted for completion in Q1 2027, will evaluate the potential production and marketing of copper cathode from the existing permitted heap-leach and SX-EW infrastructure.

Korea Zinc’s KZAM Begins Mass Copper Foil Shipments, Completing E-Waste-to-Copper Foil Recycling Chain

Korea Zinc said its affiliate KZAM has been mass-producing battery copper foil since June and has begun supplying a global battery customer, marking its first commercial shipments. The material will be used in batteries manufactured in North America, with expected revenue of up to KRW40 billion. Korea Zinc also confirmed an integrated recycling chain in which e-waste collected by its U.S. subsidiary Pedal Point is processed at the Onsan smelter into recycled copper, which is then used as feedstock for KZAM's battery-grade copper foil.
