US AND UK TAKE ACTION TO REDUCE RUSSIAN REVENUE FROM METALS

On 12 April, a news release from the US Treasury advised of 2 new prohibitions to disrupt the revenue that Russia earns from its export of aluminium, copper, and nickel.  These prohibit the import of Russian-origin aluminium, copper, and nickel into the US, and limits the use of Russian-origin aluminium, copper, and nickel on global metal exchanges and in over-the-counter derivatives trading.  Metal exchanges, like the London Metal Exchange (LME) and Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), will be prohibited from accepting new aluminium, copper, and nickel produced by Russia.  New and amended related FAQ have also been issued.
