Escalating US-Iran tensions: Iran claims US missiles struck oil tankers near Kharg Island and warns of attacks on tankers in Kuwaiti and Bahraini ports
Following reports of attacks on Iranian oil tankers, the intraday gain in U.S. crude oil prices widened again to over 2%. The Iranian military warned that tankers docked at ports in Kuwait and Bahrain would become targets of attacks and urged crew members to evacuate immediately. Kharg Island is Iran's primary oil export hub, through which approximately 90% of Iran's crude oil exports previously passed. Earlier on Tuesday, the Iranian military stated that it had captured an advanced U.S. unmanned submarine.

Tariff uncertainty emerges as the biggest bullish driver for copper prices: over one million tonnes of copper flow to the US, while LME copper prices hit a record high above $14,700 per tonne.
Copper prices have repeatedly hit record highs, with the core driver shifting from demand to regional mismatches in global inventories. Uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariffs on refined copper has sustained arbitrage activities that have drawn over one million tonnes of copper into the United States, tightening spot supplies on the London Metal Exchange (LME). Meanwhile, the rebound in China’s import demand, coupled with constrained supply at the mine level, has created a supply-demand resonance that further pushes up copper prices, suggesting that structural strength may persist.

International oil prices rise! Houthis launch "retaliatory strikes" against Saudi Arabia; multinational coalition vows counterattack
Tensions in the Middle East have escalated once again, posing a severe threat to the security of Saudi Arabia's energy supply. On September 8, Yemen's Houthi rebels launched attacks on multiple cities in southern Saudi Arabia, igniting fires at several energy facilities and forcing partial operational suspensions, which subsequently drove international oil prices sharply higher, with Brent crude approaching the $100 threshold. According to CCTV International News, the Saudi Ministry of Energy confirmed that civilian and economic infrastructure in Abha, Khamis Mushait, Najran, and Jizan had been attacked, resulting in over 70 injuries.

LME copper hits all-time high! Tariff arbitrage triggers LME copper squeeze, while production cuts by major miners intensify supply-side pressure.
London copper prices surged 47% over the past 12 months, primarily driven by market expectations that Trump will continue to expand tariffs on copper. Copper futures on the New York Exchange maintained a significant premium over London prices, triggering arbitrage activities that drove LME physical inventories down to critically low levels in August, sparking a major short squeeze. Meanwhile, Chile, the world's largest copper producer, saw its copper export revenue fall to a more-than-one-year low in August, raising the possibility of the first annual decline in global mine supply since 2017.

U.S. military strikes three Iranian oil tankers for the first time, escalating Strait of Hormuz tensions from "targeting infrastructure" to "disrupting transport"
The nature of the military conflict between the United States and Iran underwent a significant shift this week. As U.S. military strikes targeted crude oil tankers in transit for the first time, moving beyond coastal military facilities, this marks a formal escalation from "targeting production capacity and infrastructure" to "disrupting transportation corridors." Consequently, market focus has shifted from "the extent of Iran's production cuts" to "whether the U.S. military intends to systematically sever Iran's crude oil supply chains," prompting a reassessment of global crude oil pricing logic.
