Indonesia to Delay Ban on Copper Concentrate Exports to Year-End

Indonesia will waive a ban on the export of copper concentrates until the end of the year, taking away another potentially bullish driver for the industrial metal that surged to a record this month.

The start of restrictions, which were due to come into effect on Saturday, will be delayed until Dec. 31, Budi Santoso, director general for foreign trade at the Trade Ministry, said on Friday.
