LIVE MARKET ALERT Copper futures traded at approximately $5.46 per pound, down 1.09% in intraday dealings, as market participants adjusted positions following recent strength in the broader metals complex. The pullback reflected a wave of profit-taking following earlier gains and cautious sentiment surrounding global manufacturing activity.
Despite the near-term softness, underlying demand expectations remain broadly supportive, anchored by ongoing energy transition projects and infrastructure investments. However, traders are monitoring inventory trends and global economic indicators closely for further directional cues in the near term.
Key Drivers:
• Profit-taking following a strong rally created short-term pressure on prices.
• Market caution persists amid uncertainty surrounding global industrial demand and macroeconomic data.
