Congo Copper Ban, 600k bpd US Oil Surge, EU Maize Drops 14%, China Soy Buys
Description
The Democratic Republic of Congo bans copper and cobalt concentrate exports, driving benchmark copper prices toward historic highs of $14,369 per metric ton. Simultaneously, United States imports of Middle Eastern crude oil surged to 600,000 barrels per day despite Strait of Hormuz transits dropping to 33 vessels, while Washington introduced a 15% tariff on solar polysilicon. In agricultural and freight markets, a severe European heatwave reduced European Union maize production forecasts by 14% to 49.1 million metric tons, even as Chinese state buyers secured at least 10 additional cargoes of United States soybeans.
