LIVE MARKET ALERT Copper prices moved lower in intraday trade, with the metal quoted around $6.24 per pound, down approximately 1.11%. The market remains cautious as traders reassess near-term demand conditions amid shifting macroeconomic signals and softer industrial activity indicators. Thin liquidity in some regional exchanges also contributed to the modest downside pressure.
While supply constraints remain a supportive factor over the medium term, persistent uncertainty in consumption trends and slower order flows from key manufacturing sectors have weighed on sentiment. Technical indicators suggest near-term resistance around recent highs, with traders watching whether current support levels can sustain renewed buying interest.
Key Drivers:
• Muted industrial demand expectations dampening short-term price sentiment.
• Lingering supply constraints providing partial support against broader market weakness.
