The Impact of U.S. Sanctions on Iranian Metal Exports

U.S . President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that the U.S. administration would introduce a new set of sanctions on Iranian exports of industrial metals. The executive order issued by president Trump covers iron ore, steel, aluminium and copper exports . Market consensus is that the impact of these sanctions will be limited, with Iranian metal exports relatively minor when taken in context of the global market . However, due to supply disruptions in Q1 of 2019, we argue that both the copper concentrate and iron ore markets could be affected. E ven small disruptions on the supply side are able to support prices with current market conditions extremely delicate . However, in both cases, the impact on the markets mentioned will only be felt if China complies with the sanctions .

Overall the July CPI report showed less tariff related goods pressures than expected, in a month where we believed increased price pass-throughs would be more evident. Where tariff related cost increases are being absorbed along the supply chain is yet to be determined (tomorrow’s PPI should help inform), but thus far while goods prices are rising faster than earlier in the year, the impact in July was less than expected. For details, headline CPI came out at +0.2% m/m (+0.197% unrounded, +0.2% consensus) and +2.7% y/y (vs. +2.8% consensus), with food prices moderating slightly and energy pos...
