LIVE MARKET ALERT Copper prices edged lower in intraday trade, with the metal quoted at $6.34 per pound, down 0.63%. The modest retreat comes amid subdued buying interest as participants weigh signals of slowing consumption and shifting inventory dynamics across major exchanges.
Market sentiment remains cautious, as traders await clearer indications of industrial demand recovery. Tight supply concerns continue to lend background support, but profit-taking and technical resistance are contributing to restrained upward momentum in near-term trading.
Key Drivers:
• Soft demand expectations and thin trading volumes have limited follow-through buying interest.
• Ongoing supply-side uncertainty and inventory fluctuations remain key factors shaping price direction.
