Copper Rises to Start Pivotal Week Ahead of US Tariffs Deadline
(Bloomberg) -- Copper rose along with equities after the European Union's deal with the US averted a damaging rift between the two major economies, while traders watch for final details on imminent US tariffs on the industrial metal. The High Costs of Trump's 'Big Beautiful' New Car Loan Deduction Can This Bridge Ease the Troubled US-Canadian Relationship? Budapest's Most Historic Site Gets a Controversial Rebuild Trump Administration Sues NYC Over Sanctuary City Policy Benchmark prices edged higher on the London Metal Exchange, following a tariff agreement that will see the EU face 15% levies on most exports. The deal comes ahead of a US-China meeting in Stockholm that's expected to extend a trade truce for 90 more days. But for copper, the most anticipated development will be the launch of a touted 50% tariff on the metal, with details still unclear ahead of their planned start date on Friday. President Donald Trump's administration hasn't so far confirmed important aspects of the duties, including which products will be covered, whether supplies from all nations will be hit equally, or how metal already on its way to US shores will be treated. Global traders have shipped massive amounts of copper to America to get ahead of tariffs, and Trump's announcement of an Aug. 1 deadline earlier this month triggered a last-minute scramble. Prices in the US are now much higher than those on the LME, but they don't fully reflect a 50% universal tariff rate on all exchange-traded copper. The premium now stands at about 30%. Further important developments lie ahead this week. The Federal Reserve is expect to keep rates unchanged at the conclusion of its policy meeting on Wednesday, but its commentary will be scrutinized for clues on what comes next. There's also a deluge of US data, from the latest on economic growth to jobs. Copper rose 0.6% to $9,824.50 a ton on the LME as of 11:51 a.m. in London. Aluminum was steady while zinc and nickel both edged 0.6% lower. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index rose 0.4%. (A previous version of this story corrected the planned date for start of US tariffs.)

Stock market today: Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq futures edge up as Trump-EU trade deal kicks off huge week in markets
US stock futures ticked up on Monday after the US and European Union struck a trade pact to lead off a packed week of Big Tech earnings, a Federal Reserve meeting, inflation data, the July jobs report, and President Trump's Aug. 1 deadline to lock in key trade deals. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures (YM=F) were up about 0.1%, while S&P 500 futures (ES=F) gained 0.2%, but both were coming off earlier premarket highs. Nasdaq 100 futures (NQ=F) put on roughly 0.4%, after the three major indexes closed Friday with gains. The US and EU have agreed on a framework deal to set Trump's tariffs on Europe's goods at a baseline 15%, compared with the 30% threatened. Trump called the pact 'the biggest of them all,' while von der Leyen said that "15% is not to be underestimated, but it is the best we could get." The news eased fears of a harmful trade war and boosted market sentiment, putting stocks on track to resume a rally that saw the S&P 500 (^GSPC) notch its fifth all-time high in a row on Friday. Read more: The latest on Trump's tariffs At the same time, hopes are rising for a US-China deal. Officials are meeting for talks in Stockholm on Monday to tackle roadblocks and to extend the existing tariff truce by three months, media reports said. Beijing currently faces an Aug, 12 due date for higher US levies, while other countries race to beat Friday's deadline. Meanwhile, Trump has frozen US tech export curbs to help the talks and efforts to set up an in-person meeting with President Xi, per the Financial Times. Investor eyes are now turning to a jam-packed week on Wall Street. Heavyweight earnings highlight the most intense stretch of the season, with more than 150 S&P 500 companies set to report. Meta Platforms (META) and Microsoft (MSFT) lead off Wednesday, followed by Amazon (AMZN) and Apple (AAPL) on Thursday. Read more: Full earnings coverage in our live blog Beyond earnings, the Fed begins its two-day policy meeting on Tuesday, with an interest-rate decision expected Wednesday afternoon. While the central bank is expected to keep rates at 4.25%-4.50%, the watch is on for signs that policymakers are warming to a rate cut in September. It all comes alongside legal battles to open up the Fed's meetings to investor eyes, as well as Trump's general pressure on the central bank and Chair Jerome Powell. On the data front, inflation and labor will be in the spotlight. The July reading of the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index, the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, is forecast to show a modest monthly and annual uptick on its release on Thursday. Also on deck: a flurry of jobs data. Tuesday's JOLTS update and Wednesday's ADP private payrolls print will set the stage for the crucial July jobs report on Friday. Fed meeting, jobs report, Big Tech earnings — and Trump's deadline: What to watch this week The impact of President Trump's policies on the economy is about to get a lot clearer.
