Copper Prices Near Peaks While Metals Markets Shift
egic moves in other metals are shaking up markets too: nickel bounced after Indonesia announced possible big output cuts, aluminium spiked to its highest since May 2022 after South32 said it would close its Mozal smelter, tin soared to a two-year high, while zinc and lead moved only slightly.
Why should I care?
For markets: Metals rally faces new headwinds.
Copper’s rapid rise has set it apart in the commodities world, rewarding investors riding growing demand and constrained supply. But a strong US dollar and a fresh wave of mining activity could start to put a ceiling on those gains. Meanwhile, the market’s staying jumpy as nickel and aluminium prices react to shifting production plans, hinting at more volatility ahead for metals as a whole.
The bigger picture: Resource powerhouses hold sway over industry.
Copper’s record highs—and moves in tin and aluminium—are squeezing manufacturers worldwide, especially those in technology and clean energy. China is already scaling up aluminium production to safeguard its industries, while Indonesia’s influence on nickel supply is reshaping global pricing. These shifts show just how much the clean energy transition and supply chain shocks are rewriting the rules for critical resources.

FCA stops Verus Financial Services Limited from carrying out regulated activities and tightens asset restrictions
The action follows concerns that the firm has repeatedly breached an existing asset restriction, which prevented it from selling, transferring or diminishing its assets without our approval. It also failed to comply with a Financial Ombudsman Service decision. Following a review of the firm’s representations, we issued a First Supervisory Notice (PDF) on 27 October 2025, which outlines further details about our concerns and the basis for imposing the restrictions:
- Asset restriction breach – the firm has, by its own admission, repeatedly and deliberately breached an asset restriction the firm agreed to on 7 September 2023.
- Unpaid Financial Ombudsman Award – the firm has failed to comply with a decision by the Financial Ombudsman made against the firm and in favour of a customer contrary to DISP 3.7.12.1R, and Principle 6 (Customer’s interest).
- Uncooperative – the firm has not been open and cooperative with us.
The firm must not conduct regulated activity and can no longer act as an independent financial adviser or provide financial advice. Customers should seek to find a new financial adviser – there is information on finding an adviser on the MoneyHelper website. There is no direct correlation between the restrictions imposed on the firm and the performance of underlying investments arranged by the firm.
The FCA has also issued a consumer warning about a connected unauthorised firm, Verus Estates Limited.
