LIVE MARKET ALERT Copper prices trade higher at $6.21 per pound, reflecting a 1.31% intraday gain as steady consumption expectations continue to underpin sentiment across the base metals market. Market participants cite stable fabrication activity and ongoing restocking in key industrial centers as supportive influences, driving modest upside momentum in an otherwise balanced trading session.
Volumes remain focused in actively traded futures, with traders monitoring supply chain developments and smelter output levels for further directional cues. While the broader macro backdrop remains cautious, persistent demand from the power and construction sectors provides a buffer against downside pressure, keeping copper’s short-term tone constructive within current ranges.
Key Drivers:
• Sustained industrial and infrastructure demand supporting refined copper consumption.
• Steady futures market participation and constrained smelter supply reinforcing price strength.
