LIVE MARKET ALERT Copper prices traded at $5.8 per pound, down 1.19%, as traders reassessed demand prospects across key manufacturing regions. The decline reflects a cautious mood among market participants, with sentiment weighed by concerns over slower industrial uptake and moderate risk appetite in the broader metals complex.
Market volumes remained relatively steady, though the tone leaned defensive as investors monitored supply chain conditions and production levels from major mining centers. The modest retreat in spot pricing suggests that short-term adjustments are being made within a generally stable longer-term outlook for base metals.
Key Drivers:
• Soft industrial demand limiting upside momentum.
• Stable supply conditions maintaining balance despite weaker sentiment.
