LIVE MARKET ALERT Copper prices showed a modest intraday gain, trading near $5.97 per pound, up 0.84%. The market reflected sustained buying interest from industrial users and investors seeking exposure to base metals as global manufacturing indicators showed signs of stability. The move underscores a cautiously optimistic tone across the broader commodities complex, with traders monitoring shifts in demand fundamentals and exchange inventories.
Market liquidity remained steady, with participants pointing to consistent warehouse off-take and stronger midstream orders from wire and cable manufacturers. Although speculative volumes appeared moderate, the underlying sentiment suggested confidence in continued consumption growth, provided macroeconomic conditions remain supportive and supply constraints ease gradually.
Key Drivers:
• Stable global manufacturing data supporting base metal demand expectations.
• Steady inventory drawdowns across major exchanges signaling ongoing physical market tightness.
