The Yangshan premium rose 6.8% to $158 per metric ton, while Shanghai Futures Exchange copper inventories stood at just 73,962 tons, roughly one-tenth of COMEX inventories.
Persistent supply tightness and the concentration of copper stocks in the US could intensify competition for available metal and support copper prices.

A sustained breakout could accelerate bullish momentum through short liquidations, while concentrated selling pressure could limit Bitcoin's recovery.

Further military escalation could push Brent toward or beyond its previous high, although improving crude export flows may limit supply-driven upside.

U.S. natural gas inventories increased by 77 Bcf last week, matching analyst expectations as storage levels remained below year-earlier levels.
The EIA reported total stocks of 3,644 Bcf, with the surplus over the five-year average narrowing to 35 Bcf, while Nymex natural gas futures rose 0.9% to $2.814 per mmBtu.

The EIA reported a 77 bcf weekly inventory increase versus expectations of 79 bcf, while Lower 48 production fell to 111.6 bcfd and flows to major US LNG export facilities rose to 18.1 bcfd.

Total inventories reached 3.644 trillion cubic feet, 4% below year-earlier levels but 1% above the five-year average, while weekly injections accelerated from 67 bcf previously.
Smaller-than-expected storage additions could support natural gas prices, although inventories remaining above the five-year average may limit the bullish impact.

Stablecoin adoption is accelerating as 18% of corporates now report using stablecoins in production, double the share recorded in EY-Parthenon's 2025 survey, signaling a shift from experimentation toward real-world payment integration.
The survey found that 69% of financial institutions already offer or plan to launch stablecoin services within two years, while 50%–53% of respondents have used or are exploring blockchain-based rails for cross-border business payments.
If banks and payment providers successfully integrate stablecoins into existing systems, adoption and transaction volumes could grow significantly, although liquidity, regulation, and distribution remain key hurdles.

The MyDoge wallet has surpassed 500,000 users, while DogeOS remains in public testnet and Such App is still in beta; meanwhile, DOGE trades at $0.0799 after falling 36.8% since the start of the year.
If Dogecoin Labs successfully expands real-world payments and application adoption, it could strengthen DOGE's long-term utility, though execution risks and weak recent price performance remain significant hurdles.
