2月份，美国启动232调查，说进口铜威胁国家安全。7月底，特朗普签令，从8月起对半成品铜加50%关税。 结果贸易商蜂拥把铜运往纽约仓库，3月份就有50万吨铜转向美国。本来这些货该去亚洲，现在亚洲现货溢价飙到每吨200美元。中国企业买原料贵，卖产品 利润薄。 更棘手的是上游，美国6月和刚果金签协议，投10亿多美元换矿权，刚果铜占全球两成，这明显冲着中国企业来，阻挠我们在南美和非洲的矿业投资。 中国没慌张，稳扎稳打甩出第一招：拓宽矿源渠道。国内云南和西藏新矿区上马，年产能加了10万吨以上。 在海外，紫金矿业在刚果金扩股，铜出口对中国增速38%。江西铜业在赞比亚建新厂，精矿供应稳了。废铜回收也提速，率子到42%，宁波从非洲进口铜跳 了近八成。 铜本来是工业里的老实材料，现在却成了大国间拉锯的焦点。2025年，全球铜价一路狂飙，伦敦期货冲到每吨12000美元附近，上海期货也顶上9万人民币。 背后推手是美国，他们消费全球铜才6%，却把交易所库存堆到40万吨，占了七成多。这是想在战略上掐住中国脖子。 中国用铜占全球一半以上，新能源车、光伏这些产业离不开它。美国从年初就开始动手，库存从8万多吨翻倍增长，把全球供应搅得一团乱 ...
