高盛分析师在周四的一份报告中表示，废铜贸易流量不太可能因此而改变，部分原因是"高质量废铜可能已经存放在国内了。" 大宗商品商Concord Resources研究总监Duncan Hobbs表示："如果我们把废铜市场作为一个整体来看，这里什么也看不到，因为美国在国内金属生产中已经 消耗了超过40%的废铜。" 数据显示，美国2024年出口了价值45亿美元的废铜。中国海关总署公布的数据显示，6月中国自美国进口的废铜占比从1月份的20.8%降至1%。 在周三的新关税公告中，美国白宫表示，将要求美国生产的25%高品位废铜需要在国内市场出售，以促进以废铜为原料的精炼铜国内生产。 美国目前是全球最大的废铜出口国。 特朗普政府的行政命令没有定义高品位，也没有具体说明何时开始国内使用要求，尽管美国商务部长在另一份报告中称，相关要求自2027年开始执行。 7月31日（周四），行业分析师称，旨在减少美国废铜出口限制提案不太可能产生太大影响，因为出口量已经低于该计划中的配额。 铜是电力行业、人工智能和数据中心以及电动汽车的重要材料。 （文华综合） ...
