EconomyUS triggered ‘copper race’ by imposing export duties — Rosneft CEO

Rosneft CEO Igor Sechin said the United States had sparked a global “copper race” by imposing export duties and accelerating efforts to build copper reserves, sending prices to record highs. He said Russia doubled copper and copper-concentrate supplies to China last year, while ore and concentrate shipments also doubled in the first seven months of this year.
