Report summary
Three-month LME copper prices hit a record level of US$10,747.50/t on 10 May 2021. This surpassed the previous high of US$10,190/t set in mid-February 2011. Prices retreated below US$10,000/t over the second half of May, amid deliveries into LME warehouses and calls by the Chinese government over the need to restrain commodity prices. News that workers at BHP’s Santiago integrated operations centre went on strike, reversed the decline and the price recovered some of its lost ground.
