The copper price today is firming as global traders position ahead of a critical US tariff deadline less than a month away. The US Commerce Secretary is expected to deliver an assessment of the domestic copper market to President Trump by end of June 2026, ahead of a proposed phased tariff framework that would impose a 15% import duty on refined copper from January 2027 and 30% from January 2028. The copper price today on the LME has been trading in the $12,900 to $13,200 per tonne range in recent sessions, supported by the widening CME-LME price spread that signals active pre-tariff positioning by physical copper traders. The spot CME premium over LME stands at approximately 3% of the LME price, while the March 2027 CME forward premium has widened to close to $1,000 per tonne, equivalent to approximately 7% of the LME price.<\/p>\n
