Copper edges up on dollar weakness, but clouds loom over demand outlook
Copper prices nudged higher on Thursday, aided by a weaker dollar, but persistent concerns over demand and unresolved trade tensions continued to cloud the market's outlook. Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange was up 0.5% at $9,694 a metric ton by 1400 GMT, having gained more than a fifth since touching the lowest since November 2023 in April at $8,105. The dollar index slid to its lowest in over three years following U.S. data, making greenback-priced metals more affordable for buyers using other currencies. "Some support is coming from the weaker dollar. But more broadly, uncertainty around trade negotiations continues to pressure cyclical assets like copper," said Nitesh Shah, commodities strategist at WisdomTree. U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he would be willing to extend a July 8 deadline for completing trade talks, but added the U.S. would send out letters in coming weeks specifying the terms of trade deals to dozens of other countries, which they could then embrace or reject. UBS said in a note that on the demand side, the latest manufacturing PMIs from China, Europe and the U.S. all remain in contraction territory, highlighting the drag from the ongoing tariff situation. "Weak PMI readings suggest that final copper demand should be subdued. That said, some front-loading of demand ahead of U.S. tariffs has supported copper consumption, and U.S. imports have tightened the market outside of the U.S.," the note added. In February, Washington launched an investigation into U.S. copper imports, pushing COMEX prices to a notable premium over LME. Seizing the opportunity, traders have redirected copper flows toward the U.S. from other regions. U.S. COMEX copper futures added 0.1% to $4.82 a lb, bringing the premium over LME copper to $933 a ton. On the supply front, Ivanhoe Mines said on Wednesday that it had resumed underground operations at a section of its Kakula copper mine in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), previously halted due to seismic activity. However, the company lowered its production guidance for the year. "Downgrades to production estimates — particularly from the DRC — are weighing on the supply outlook. From our perspective, the market is heading toward a supply deficit by year-end," added Shah. LME aluminium and tin were little changed at $2,516.50 and $32,660 a ton respectively, zinc eased 0.6% to $2,638, nickel dipped 0.2% to $15,150 while lead gained 0.5% to $1,996.50.

Kumulus Water raises $3.5mln to redefine clean water access with off-grid tech in MENA and Europe
MENA – Kumulus Water, the WaterTech startup transforming air into clean drinking water, has successfully raised $3.5 million in seed funding. The round was led by Bpifrance via France 2030 SGPI and the Île-de-France Region, and included participation from other international regional and investors, such as Plus VC, MENA's most active VC, Khalys Venture, Flat6Labs, Europe's leading bottled water group Spadel, and several family offices and founders from Europe and North Africa. This strategic investment marks a major step in Kumulus' mission to provide decentralized, sustainable drinking water in regions facing water scarcity or lacking reliable infrastructure. Founded in 2021 by Iheb Triki and Mohamed Ali Abid, Kumulus designs and manufactures atmospheric water generators that extract safe drinking water from air humidity, without requiring any existing water or electricity infrastructure. The company's systems are currently in use in schools, hotels, and remote communities across Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. 'We're deeply grateful to our existing and new investors for their trust and continued support,' said Iheb Triki, CEO and Co-founder of Kumulus Water. 'Their involvement is a strong vote of confidence in our technology and our vision. At Kumulus, we believe access to clean drinking water should not depend on existing infrastructure. With this funding, we're taking a major step toward making clean water accessible, sustainable, and decentralized—especially for the communities that need it most.' With this new funding, Kumulus will launch the Kumulus Boks, a new line of industrial-grade, cutting-edge Atmospheric Water Generators (AWG), that provide clean drinking water directly from air humidity, while scaling operations in Tunisia, France, Spain and preparing market entry into Saudi Arabia. Commenting on the fundraising announcement, Hasan Haider, Founder and Managing Partner at +VC said: 'Kumulus is building a scalable, climate-resilient solution to one of the most critical regional and global challenges-access to clean drinking water. At +VC, we invest in founders who are not only mission-driven, solving real-world problems but also executing with commercially scalable solutions. Kumulus fits that profile and is well-positioned for both regional and global growth. We're excited to support their journey as they scale meaningful impact, making them stand out in the climate-tech space.' 'We believe the world needs complementary solutions to address the growing challenge of drinking water scarcity,' added Clément Yvorra, Global Business Development Manager at Spadel. 'What convinced us is Kumulus' ability to produce water locally, without packaging or transportation, offering a truly sustainable alternative.' 'This funding allows us to scale not just production, but impact,' said Mohamed Ali Abid, Co-founder and CTO of Kumulus Water. 'We have spent the past few years refining a technology that can operate reliably in some of the harshest and most water-stressed environments. Now, we are ready to deploy it at scale and bring truly off-grid, sustainable water access to more communities across the region and beyond.' As climate change intensifies and water scarcity deepens, Kumulus offers a resilient, infrastructure-free solution that delivers safe drinking water to even the most remote and arid regions, building not just machines, but long-term climate resilience and empowered communities. Kumulus Water is redefining how clean water is delivered—turning air into drinking water without infrastructure, plastic waste, or grid dependency. By deploying off-grid atmospheric water generators, Kumulus provides a sustainable, decentralized solution for communities facing limited or unreliable access to clean water. About Kumulus Water Kumulus Water is a Paris-based climate-tech startup building atmospheric water generators (AWGs) that transform air into safe, clean drinking water.

Proofpoint research UAE travel brands are taking proactive steps to defend customers from fraudulent emails
Dubai, United Arab Emirates – Proofpoint, Inc., a leading cybersecurity and compliance company, today released new research revealing that 85% of the top online travel sites* in the UAE have adopted Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting and Conformance (DMARC), a key email security protocol that helps protect users from email fraud. However, only 45% of these sites have implemented it at the highest enforcement level of 'reject,' which actively blocks unauthorised emails from reaching inboxes. The findings are based on a DMARC adoption analysis of the top 20 online travel sites in the UAE, and across Europe and the Middle East. DMARC is an email validation protocol designed to protect domain names from being misused by cybercriminals. It authenticates the sender's identity before allowing a message to reach its intended destination. DMARC has three levels of protection – monitor, quarantine and reject, with reject being the most secure for preventing suspicious emails from reaching the inbox. With travel demand in the UAE continuing to rise, a recent KPMG study found that 77% of UAE travellers use mobile apps or hotel booking services, increasing the volume of digital interactions between consumers and travel brands. But as consumers eagerly plan and book their getaways, this surge in activity – coupled with a high volume of emails and promotional offers from travel companies – creates a perfect storm for cybercriminals, turning dream holidays into costly scams through sophisticated email fraud. Key findings include: The UAE demonstrates stronger foundational email security adoption compared to its European counterparts, with 85% of the top travel sites publishing a DMARC record, reflecting growing awareness of cybersecurity best practices across the country's travel sector. However, there is room for improvement with only 45% of the UAE's top travel sites using the policy at 'reject' level, meaning 55% are leaving their customers, staff, and partners more vulnerable to receiving fraudulent emails impersonating these brands. On average, 88% of the top travel websites across Europe and the Middle East have published a basic DMARC record. However, only 46% of all travel sites analysed are at reject, meaning 54% of the top travel sites across the regions are leaving customers at risk of email fraud. 'Holiday bookings often represent a significant number of high-value financial transactions and bring experiences of high personal and emotional value; this combination makes travellers prime targets for cybercriminals. Attackers actively use sophisticated email fraud, especially during peak holiday season, to exploit vulnerabilities,' says Matt Cooke, cybersecurity strategist, Proofpoint. 'Fake booking confirmations, too-good-to-be-true deals, and urgent payment requests for supposed flight changes are common tactics. These fraudulent communications can appear highly convincing, putting travellers' finances and personal data at risk.' "Travel companies bear a social responsibility to do everything they can to stop convincing scam emails being sent in their name, to holidaymakers,' continues Cooke. 'Implementing DMARC technology to its fullest level of 'reject' allows travel companies to massively reduce the risk of that happening, protecting both their brand and all of the holidaymakers at the same time., it's a win-win." Proofpoint advises consumers to follow these tips to stay safe when booking and managing travel online: Secure your bookings – and your accounts. Use strong, unique passwords for travel accounts and booking sites. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) wherever possible to add an extra layer of security. Watch out for fake travel deals – and websites. Be wary of unsolicited offers that seem too good to be true. Scammers create convincing fake websites for airlines, hotels, or comparison sites to steal money and credentials. Always book through official sites or reputable, verified agents. Navigate away from phishing trips – and smishing scams. Stay alert to phishing emails or smishing (SMS phishing) messages regarding flight changes, booking confirmations, or visa applications that demand urgent action or personal details. These often lead to fake login pages designed to capture your information. Don't get detoured by suspicious links. Avoid clicking directly on links in unsolicited emails, social media messages, or pop-up ads, especially for special offers or urgent alerts. Instead, type the official website address directly into your browser. Check reviews before You book. Fraudulent travel offers, websites, and apps can look deceptively genuine. Before providing payment details or downloading a new travel app, invest time in researching the company, reading independent online reviews, and checking for customer complaints. Methodology: *This analysis of DMARC adoption among the top 20 online travel sites per market in the UK, Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Benelux, UAE and KSA (as identified by data from Semrush, ecommerce Italia, Fevad, Statista, Ocu, SimilarWeb) was conducted in May 2025.
