“American industries depend on copper, and it should be made in America, no exemptions, no exceptions,” Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said. “It’s time for copper to come home.”
But while the tariffs could be positive for the domestic metals sector, implemented copper tariffs could amplify costs across several segments of the economy. Copper has a broad range of uses, and its cost is an input in the price of everything from electronics to construction materials.
Trump’s tariff probe sparked a surge in copper futures, which rose 1.76% Wednesday morning.

Barrick Gold will resume operations at its shuttered Loulo-Gounkoto mine in Mali once authorities in the country allow it to resume gold shipments, CEO Mark Bristow said on Wednesday.
“We will start the operations as soon as we get approval to ship the gold and we need to ship the gold to pay anything to the government,” Bristow said, adding that Barrick paid $460 million to the Mali government last year.
“So if you calculate that to per week… and every week we don’t do this it hurts everyone,” he added.

Gold prices rallied on Tuesday, regaining ground after a slight pullback at the start of March. Spot gold was up 0.4%, reaching $2,900.78 an ounce as of 7:30 AM UTC. The rally was supported by a weakening US dollar spot index that has dropped to 103.5, a 24-hour 0.2% downtick.
Gold’s more “resilient” performance against the dollar is giving investors more incentives to turn against Bitcoin, with its price falling by more than $15,400 over the past month.
“Now that Bitcoin fell below $77K, it’s down 30% from its January record high,” Schiff posted on X. “It’s hard to see the rationale for the U.S. government holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset when it can lose that much market value so quickly. The rationale will be even harder to see when it’s down 50%.”
