Quick Glance: US Imposes Sanctions on Russian Metals at Exchanges
- The US and UK imposed new restrictions on trading Russian aluminum, copper, and nickel that will impact global metal markets, aiming to limit President Vladimir Putin’s ability to fund his war efforts.
- The rules ban the delivery of new supplies from Russia to the London Metal Exchange and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. While non-US entities can still buy physical Russian metals, the restrictions are expected to influence prices on the LME, a key benchmark in global contracts.
- The sanctions will also affect traders' handling of Russian metal, potentially leading to discounts compared to other sources. The move aims to reduce Russia's earnings while avoiding broad sanctions on crucial metals. Russian metals exports were valued at $25 billion in 2022 and $15 billion in 2023.
- The restrictions aim to prevent market disruptions seen in past sanctions and mark a significant shift in the metal supply chain dynamics. Palladium and titanium, major Russian-supplied metals, are not subject to these restrictions.

Quick Glance: UK Considers Providing Latest Laser Weapons to Ukraine
- Defense Secretary Grant Shapps suggests that prototypes of the latest laser weapons being developed in the UK could potentially be provided to Ukraine in the future to strengthen its air defense systems.
- Originally planned for production to begin in 2032, the UK Defense Ministry now aims to achieve this earlier - by 2027.
- Shapps aims to significantly shorten the usually lengthy development-procurement procedures so that the system can be deployed on ships and potentially on land as quickly as possible for use against combat drones.
- The DragonFire laser weapon will be distinguished by its high speed and accuracy, with the additional advantage of low cost compared to air defense missiles - a single shot lasting 10 seconds is equivalent in cost to using a standard heater for an hour.
