GEOPOLITICS: TRADE PROGRESS
- USA-CHINA TRADE DEAL SIGNED (JUNE 27): President Trump announced that the United States and China have officially signed a trade agreement, aiming to de-escalate tensions between the world’s two largest economies. For commodities, the agreement is particularly supportive of copper prices, as improved U.S.-China relations raise expectations for stronger Chinese industrial demand, especially in the construction and manufacturing sectors.
EVENTS (USA):
- THURSDAY, JULY 3, AT 13:30 GMT+1: US NONFARM PAYROLLS (NFP) AND UNEMPLOYMENT RATE (JUNE): In May, NFP came in at 139,000, while the unemployment rate held steady at 4.2%, the same as in April. If the unemployment rate continues its upward trend (4.0% in January, 4.1% in February, and 4.2% in March, April, and May), it could weaken the US dollar, potentially supporting higher copper prices. Also, a lower-than-expected NFP data increases expectations of future rate cuts, which tend to boost industrial metals like copper due to a weaker dollar.
EVENTS (CHINA):
- WEDNESDAY, JULY 9 AT 02:30 GMT+1: CHINA INFLATION (CPI) (JUNE): A higher-than-expected CPI reading may indicate strengthening domestic demand and economic activity in China, which could have a supportive effect on copper prices, given China's role as the world’s largest consumer of the metal. If inflation picks up from the previous reading of -0.1%, it could reinforce optimism about economic stabilization and increased commodity demand. (PREVIOUS: -0.1%)
- TUESDAY, JULY 15 AT 03:00 GMT+1: CHINA INDUSTRIAL PRODUCTION (JUNE): If June industrial data accelerates from May’s 5.8% growth, it would confirm continued momentum in factory activity, which is a major demand driver for copper. (PREVIOUS: +5.8%).
- TUESDAY, JULY 15 AT 03:00 GMT+1: CHINA GDP (Q2): A reading above the previous 5.4% growth would reinforce expectations of a stable economic rebound in the world’s largest copper consumer. Stronger GDP growth supports infrastructure spending, manufacturing activity, and overall commodity demand, lifting copper prices. (PREVIOUS: +5.4%)
