New Metal Sanctions on Russia Impose Changes in Global Trade Dynamics

in Compliance, Sanctions

The recent imposition of sanctions on Russia by the US and UK, in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, has led to significant alterations in the global metals trade landscape, particularly concerning nickel, aluminium, and copper.

Effective April 13, the London Metal Exchange (LME) has prohibited the delivery of new Russian metal, with similar measures also implemented by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). Additionally, the US has imposed bans on Russian imports of these metals.

Russia’s significance in global metal production cannot be overlooked, with approximately 6% of global nickel production, 5% of aluminium, and 4% of copper originating from the country. Particularly noteworthy is Russia’s status as the world’s second-largest producer of refined class 1 nickel, a crucial type for delivery on the LME.

While the impact on the US metal supply is anticipated to be minimal, given its relatively low dependence on Russian aluminium imports (less than 1% of US aluminium imports), the global metal trade could experience repercussions.

The sanctions are expected to drive up prices in the short term, especially on the LME, where prices serve as a benchmark for contracts worldwide. Notably, the LME has implemented daily limits on price increases to mitigate excessive volatility.

With the restriction on Russian metal delivery to the LME, there may be a shift towards other markets. Metal originating from Russia might find its way to countries not affected by sanctions, such as China, the largest consumer of aluminium globally. China’s previous record-high imports of Russian aluminium signal a potential continuation of this trend.

Despite the accumulation of Russian metals in LME warehouses, existing inventories remain unaffected by the sanctions, subject to approval on a case-by-case basis to ensure compliance with the regulations.

The influx of Russian metal into LME warehouses, previously held off-exchange, could exacerbate the current surplus and widen the gap between LME and actual traded prices, potentially leading to a market structure indicating ample near-term supplies.

While the sanctions are poised to induce short-term volatility in metal prices and supply dynamics, the market is expected to adapt over time. Russian metal may find alternative buyers in sanction-neutral markets, maintaining its role in global trade dynamics.

This is not the first instance of sanctions impacting Russian metal trade, as evidenced by the 2018 US sanctions on Russian aluminium producers, which triggered price fluctuations before being lifted in January 2019.
