Copper now costs way more in the U.S. than elsewhere. This could hit its economy hard

最新报道：U.S. copper prices hit record highs as supply shortages drive premiums, with spot prices surging 15% above futures contracts.

The premium reflects tight domestic supply amid rising demand and logistical bottlenecks, with some buyers paying up to $1.50 per pound over benchmark rates.

Copper-intensive sectors face margin pressures as they struggle to pass costs to consumers.
