According to foreign media reports on March 17, Rio Tinto announced on Monday that it has obtained land control rights required for the Resolution copper mine construction project in Arizona.

** Copper, long/short score: -1.5**

Rio Tinto has obtained land control rights for the Resolution copper mine project in Arizona. The project is expected to become one of the largest sources of critical minerals in the United States. Expectations of increased supply are likely to create significant downward pressure on copper spot prices. Although opposition from Native Americans may bring risks of project delays, the overall trend toward supply expansion is clear, which weighs negatively on market sentiment. The score is -1.5, reflecting that general bearish factors are stronger, mainly due to the large volume of incremental supply and its longer-term nature, which may suppress the near- and mid-term trend of spot prices.
