LIVE MARKET ALERT Copper prices eased during the latest trading session, with the metal quoted near 5.79 per pound, marking a 1.53% decline intraday. The retreat reflected a modest wave of profit-taking after recent gains, as traders reassessed short-term demand expectations across industrial metals.
Market participants noted subdued buying interest from manufacturers, and a cautious tone across commodities associated with global growth trends. Technical selling also contributed to the downward move, keeping the focus on whether broader economic indicators can sustain support for base metals in the near term.
Key Drivers:
• Profit-taking and position adjustments following earlier strength in base metals trading.
• Cautious sentiment around industrial demand outlook and macroeconomic growth concerns.
