LIVE MARKET ALERT Copper prices advanced to $5.89 per pound, up 1.03% intraday, as renewed optimism in the mining sector supported risk appetite. Buying momentum built steadily through the session, with traders citing improved supply-side confidence and speculative interest following policy headlines linked to U.S. resource development.
Broader industrial metal markets tracked higher as investors re-evaluated long-term production prospects. With the potential for eased restrictions on key North American projects, sentiment has shifted toward a more constructive supply outlook, reinforcing copper’s role as a bellwether for industrial demand trends.
Key Drivers:
• Trump and Congress move to overturn Minnesota mining ban, potentially benefiting major producers such as Antofagasta’s Twin Metals unit.
• Improved risk sentiment across base metals amid speculation of stronger infrastructure and industrial activity.
