LIVE MARKET ALERT Copper futures traded lower at $6.46 per pound, marking a 1.07% retreat as participants adjusted positions amid subdued industrial demand signals. The move reflects a broader moderation in base metals sentiment as investors weigh macroeconomic headwinds and mixed consumption trends from key manufacturing hubs.
Market activity remains characterized by restrained risk appetite, with some traders prioritizing short-term profit taking following recent volatility. Consolidation in price levels indicates ongoing uncertainty regarding supply flows and downstream demand recovery, keeping the red metal within a cautious intraday range.
Key Drivers:
• Softening demand expectations from major consuming regions are curbing bullish momentum in base metals.
• Technical selling and repositioning among speculative accounts have contributed to the downward bias.
