Copper price recovers Tuesday

The copper price continued to move up after a down Monday session, Reuters reported.

Europe strives toward emissions targets

In other news beyond the copper price, the European Commission recently outlined its 2030 Climate Target Plan, to which steelmaker ArcelorMittal responded positively.
However, the firm also listed several factors that will make it easier for it to achieve the emissions targets.

Those items included:

• The Carbon Border Adjustment
• Access to abundant and affordable clean energy, to enable the roll-out of low-emissions steelmaking
• Access to sustainable finance for low-emissions steelmaking
• Accelerate the transition to a circular economy: EU climate and materials policy should be integrated, taking a lifecycle perspective to ensure that materials are used in a circular way as much as possible
