US Copper Price Surges Following Trump's Tariff Comment

Hello Stackers!

Big moves in the metals market today—copper just had its biggest one-day jump in over two years after President Trump’s speech to Congress last night. He announced a 25% tariff on copper, aluminum, steel, and lumber, citing national security concerns and the need for domestic production. You can check out his exact comments here.

Now, here’s something to think about—if critical industrial metals are getting slapped with tariffs, could silver be next? The U.S. has already hit Mexico (the world’s largest silver producer and our top supplier) with 25% tariffs, but an across-the-board import tax could send silver prices soaring. If Washington keeps this up, the real silver squeeze might not come from Reddit traders—it could come straight from the White House.
