Copper artificial demand created by BIG FUNDS. Copper Inventory shows moves from one exchange to other, aggregate inventory at highest level of decade.

 
COMEX INVENTORY:-

                        August 7, 2026, the total copper inventory in COMEX-approved warehouses stands at 652,406 metric tones. This translates to approximately 722,839 short tons of combined registered and eligible physical copper stocks.

COMEX

• Warehouse Stock: Holds 722,839 short tons (approx. 653,571 metric tones) of registered and eligible copper as of August 2026.
• Monthly Growth: Over 200,000 tones of copper arrived at U.S. ports in July alone, representing the largest single-month inflow in over 12 years
• Year-to-Date Surge: Official COMEX inventories have surged by more than 40% since the start of 2026.

LME COPPER Tracking Recent Inventory Trends

• Draining consecutive sessions: Draining for 29 straight days.
• Substantial monthly drop: Inventory declined 33.1% over 30 days.
• Reversal from peaks: Way down from March highs of 330,375 tones.
• Tighter nearby availability: Cash premiums widening due to low stock SHFE COPPER:- Shanghai Futures Exchange (SHFE) copper warehouse inventories recently rose by about 1.1% to roughly 69,334 to 70,116 metric tones. This modest build contributed to downward pressure on copper prices alongside slowing Chinese manufacturing data and cautious consumer demand.

Copper Fundamentals

 

Copper squeeze 

• The London Metal Exchange (LME) is currently experiencing low inventory levels.
  
  
• Concerns regarding US tariffs are contributing to elevated inventory levels within the United States.
  
  
• Increased scrutiny on Scrap Copper taxation fraud in China is generating demand for new copper.
  
  
• A significant premium in physical copper deliveries in China, approximately $100 to $120, is leading to a shortage on the LME as traders transfer inventory to China.
  
  
• Speculation of a substantial shortage is creating market apprehension for copper globally.
  
  
• A significant number of copper smelters in China have undergone maintenance, leading to supply shortages.
  
  
• The proportion of shutdowns attributed to smelter maintenance has increased from 6.3% to 14%.
  
  
• High Demand from AI & Chip maker Also Creating panic in copper market.

• Major producer China implemented strict export curbs on sulfuric acid, tightening global supply.
  Sulfuric acid is a vital chemical input in copper mining, primarily used to dissolve copper from low-grade oxide ores via heap leaching. It converts copper minerals into dissolved copper sulfate, which is then purified and processed through solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW) to yield high-purity metal. Conversely, copper smelting operations can also produce massive amounts of sulfuric acid as a useful economic byproduct
  
  
  
• The cost of acid reagents has escalated significantly, rising from approximately 13% to nearly 20% of total operating expenses within specific oxide-leaching and African Copperbelt operations.
  
  
• Numerous remote mining facilities are reporting critically low inventory levels, currently at 30–60 days, which presents a significant risk of mandatory production curtailments.
  
  
• Operations engaged in processing high-carbonate copper ores necessitate substantial volumes of acid per tonne of metal produced, thereby eroding profit margins and compelling mining companies to re-evaluate near-term project economics.
