Interim peace agreement announced
US and Iran reach a deal to cease hostilities, reopen the Strait of Hormuz, and begin nuclear negotiations. Copper prices pop 1.4% on the news.
US-Israel attacks on Iran begin
Sweeping military strikes launched in late February, disrupting Middle East supply chains and smelters, triggering a 13% rally in aluminum and a 4% rise in copper over subsequent months.
A tentative US-Canada trade deal would halve tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum to 25% and cut auto duties to 15%, averting a 50% levy on $20 billion in goods.

Investors see a major sovereign backstop for Rio Tinto's Australian aluminum exposure: a A$2.5B federal and NSW package plus A$1.1B in private co-investment. The deal transforms a potential 2028 closure into a decade-long operational horizon for a facility producing 40% of Australia's aluminum.
The Tomago rescue locks in the country's single largest electricity consumer for another decade, raising tensions between industrial energy security and decarbonization. The operator will invest A$1.1 billion to cut energy use, but the bailout does not resolve the smelter's coal and renewable cost exposure.
Procurement and manufacturing leaders gain certainty: the A$2.5 billion government package keeps Tomago, which produces about 40% of Australia's aluminum, online until at least 2039. The alternative was a 2028 shutdown that would have forced domestic buyers into import markets.

Middle Eastern smelters circumvented blockades through dark transits, while Chinese and Indonesian surplus kept markets from collapsing. The crisis reveals critical vulnerabilities and innovative logistics solutions in global commodity flows.
The US-Iran interim peace deal promises to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a critical artery for global commodity flows. For logistics and procurement professionals, this immediately reduces rerouting costs, insurance risk, and raw material uncertainty that had plagued copper and aluminum supply chains since February 2026.
An interim US-Iran peace deal ignited a 1.4% surge in copper, with aluminum already up 13% since the conflict began. Investors are pricing out geopolitical risk premium, redirecting capital toward base metals at a time of tight supply and growing electrification demand.
