Anglo American said on Tuesday third-quarter copper production fell 5% YoY to 174,900 tonnes, citing record snowfall in Chile and subsequent maintenance, and the processing of lower-grade stockpiles at the Collahuasi mine in northern Chile. The group said unit cost guidance for its Peruvian copper operations improved to about $0.50/lb from roughly $0.65/lb. CEO Duncan Wanblad said operations remained resilient despite extreme winter weather and that expected higher ore grades in Q4 support delivery of 2026 guidance. Anglo said its copper-focused merger with Vancouver-based Teck Resources remains on track to complete before March 2027.

The PBOC and other agencies issued guidance on financial support for building Beijing (Jing-Jin-Ji), Shanghai (Yangtze River Delta) and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area into international technology innovation centers. The document stresses strengthened joint risk prevention and control and requires adherence to market-based, rule-of-law principles to ensure各方 risk-management accountability, prevent herd/ blind investment and low-quality duplicated projects, and strictly guard against systemic financial risk. Financial institutions must fulfil risk-control responsibilities, maintain independent decision-making, bear their own risks, operate prudently, and tighten credit risk management and monitoring of fund use. Industry regulators will intensify risk assessment and early warning for priority tech-innovation areas and assist financial firms in distinguishing true from false innovation. Financial management bodies will guide institutions to develop differentiated tech-finance activities consistent with their mandates and strategies, ensure financial innovation proceeds on market and legal tracks, avoid cut‑throat/“involution” competition, and strengthen routine supervision, risk-information sharing and joint risk assessment.
