LIVE MARKET ALERT Copper prices traded around $5.99 per pound, marking a modest 0.5% intraday increase as traders assessed stable consumption trends and supply outlooks. Market participants maintained a cautiously optimistic tone, with the red metal continuing to benefit from consistent restocking activity by major consumers and persistent tightness in refined inventories.
Investor sentiment remained supported by ongoing infrastructure investment and expectations of resilient global manufacturing output. While the recent price move suggests balanced flows between physical buyers and speculative participants, analysts noted that technical momentum remains constructive, with support levels firming alongside broader commodity benchmarks.
Key Drivers:
• Stronger industrial restocking and stable manufacturing activity have supported underlying copper demand.
• Limited near-term supply from major producers continues to underpin prices and encourage a measured bullish bias.
