Kupfer: Schwächere Produktion in China sorgt für Angebotssorgen (SG)
|
|
|
Der Kupferpreis hat in den letzten Tagen etwas nachgegeben: Im Tief notierte er am Mittwoch bei nur noch knapp 13.900 USD je Tonne. Maßgeblich waren die Einlieferungen in die LME-Lagerhäuser: In dieser Woche sind die verfügbaren Kupfervorräte (mit Lagerschein) um gut 70 Tsd. Tonnen gestiegen. Das ist der stärkste Wochenanstieg seit 2020. Auch die Kupfervorräte insgesamt legten eine Trendwende hin und sind seit vergangenem Freitag um 34 Tsd. Tonnen auf fast 240 Tsd. Tonnen gestiegen. Das sorgt kurzfristig für eine Verschnaufpause. Weniger “gut” war dagegen – wie befürchtet – Chinas Kupferproduktion im Juli: Sie lag 3,7% unter dem Vormonat bzw. nur 1,3% über Vorjahr. Eine deutliche Verlangsamung in Chinas Kupferproduktion könnte den bislang noch gut versorgten globalen Kupfermarkt verknappen..

Mobility Data Flashes Warning Sign Along Pakistan's Iran-Linked Copper-Corridor
AI-powered geospatial data platform xMap's data scientist, Dana Harrison, asked in a LinkedIn post: "Can Mobility Data Spot Commodity Supply Risk Before the Market Does?"
Harrison used location data from points of interest and human mobility data to focus on what she says are "changes in human movement" over recent months along Pakistan's Chagai copper-gold corridor, home to Saindak and the massive Reko Diq development, which is located near the Iranian border.
Harrison continued:
On this episode of The Reckless Rabithole, I noodled around with xMap mobility data along Pakistan's Chagai copper-gold corridor, home to Saindak and the massive Reko Diq development.
During a period of growing security and logistics disruptions, mobility in Nushki and Dalbandin began to diverge materially from comparable locations elsewhere in Balochistan, with both ending July roughly 20 index points below the re...
