U.S. Accumulates Worlds Second-Largest Copper Stockpile Without Federal SpendingThe U.S. has amassed the worlds second-largest copper stockpile, surpassing Chinas state reserves, without any federal spending. This impressive accumulation was made possible by a significant price difference between U.S. and international copper markets, creating a profitable opportunity for traders to ship copper into the country. The market anticipates that the critical mineral designation will likely lead to U.S. import tariffs, further driving the trend.
