【LME期铜跌2%，逼近8500关口，因关税战升级】据外媒报道，周二伦敦金属交易所(LME)期铜连续第四日下跌，美国与其他国家迅速进行谈判的希望在逐渐消退。特朗普总统上周三宣布对全球185个国家的商品征收进口关税，基准关税为10%，并对60多国征收更高关税，这导致全球市场陷入混乱。自那以来，依赖经济增长的铜价已经下跌了12%。花旗的一份研报称，美国关税将在第二季度打击全球铜消费和制造业信心。目前铜不受美国新关税的影响，但是美国商务部目前正在对可能征收的新进口关税进行单独调查。分析师表示，近期铜和铝价格的下跌刺激了消费需求，其中中国的铜买家尤其活跃，这为价格提供了一定支撑。上海洋山铜溢价是衡量中国铜进口需求的一个备受关注的指标，自特朗普宣布加征关税以来，洋山铜溢价已上涨26%，达到每吨87美元，为2023年12月以来的最高水平。
