Copper Surpasses $4.7/lbCopper prices have resumed an upward trajectory, surpassing the $4.7 per pound mark on Thursday, a level unseen since mid-2024. This growth stems from multiple factors, primarily rising uncertainty over whether the Trump administration could expand existing tariffs on steel and aluminum to other raw materials and metals, including copper. So far, copper has avoided new tariffs, but the risk of a changing scenario has impacted market expectations. At the same time, “Dr. Copper” has previously benefited from a rebound in U.S. manufacturing activity, supported by the latest ISM Manufacturing PMI report, which posted its first month of expansion in 26 months. The indicator rose to 50.9 in January 2025, signaling a significant improvement in industrial demand, including new orders and production. Additionally, hopes for increased economic stimulus in China, the world's largest copper consumer, have also fueled a positive outlook for demand for this industrial metal. However, market participants remain alert to potential repercussions from the U.S. administration, which has already announced the implementation of tariffs on steel and aluminum imports without country-specific exclusions. Moreover, any trade escalation resulting from these measures could create international tensions with key producers and disrupt supply chains, global economic growth, and, consequently, industrial metal demand. Looking ahead, copper will remain closely tied to the evolution of U.S. trade policies and the strength of global manufacturing recovery. In the foreign exchange market, copper’s appreciation, as Chile’s primary commodity, has helped strengthen the Chilean peso, allowing it to reclaim the 950 pesos per dollar mark. Under these circumstances, copper’s potential is supported partly by demand and stimulus expectations but also faces the challenge of potential tariff pressures that could disrupt its dynamics in the coming months.

Copper Pulls BackAfter a period of gains, copper prices are experiencing a bearish session on Tuesday, marking their first decline after six consecutive positive trading days. In recent weeks, copper, often referred to as "Dr. Copper" for its predictive ability regarding global economic health, has demonstrated a remarkable bullish trend, reaching its highest level in 8 months. The industrial metal has previously responded positively to a series of strong U.S. economic indicators. Among them, the manufacturing PMI report stood out, recording expansion for the first time in over two years, signaling a potential revival of the U.S. industrial sector. Additionally, the NFP employment report, which revealed a drop in the unemployment rate, further supported optimism regarding the state of the U.S. economy. More recently, a factor that boosted copper prices was the U.S. government’s decision to exclude the industrial metal from new tariffs imposed on steel and aluminum. As a result, copper prices reacted positively, securing one last positive session before today’s pullback. Today’s session has witnessed a reversal of this trend. Copper prices (XCUUSD) have declined by nearly 3%, fully erasing the gains accumulated at the beginning of the week. This correction can be attributed to profit-taking following the recent rally and renewed caution in the markets amid persistent global trade tensions. The future trajectory of copper prices will remain closely tied to international trade policies, particularly the U.S.-China trade dynamic, as China is the world’s largest copper consumer. Although the tariffs imposed so far have been relatively modest, a further escalation in the trade war could negatively impact China’s economic growth and, consequently, global copper demand. It is important to highlight the correlation between copper prices and the Chilean peso. The recent surge in copper prices to multi-month highs has been a key factor in the Chilean peso’s recovery, which has strengthened by more than 5% against the U.S. dollar in recent weeks. This dynamic underscores copper’s significance for commodity-exporting economies and its sensitivity to fluctuations in the global commodities market. In summary, while the recent decline calls for caution, it should be interpreted as a fluctuation within a volatile market rather than a structural shift. The economic environment, driven by U.S. industrial recovery and Chinese stimulus measures, is likely to continue supporting copper prices. However, the resolution of global trade tensions will remain the key factor in determining the metal’s future direction.

COPPER at Key Resistance: Reversal Toward 4.4380?PEPPERSTONE:COPPER has reached a key resistance level, marked by previous price rejections and significant selling pressure. This area has historically acted as a strong supply area, suggesting the potential for a bearish reversal if sellers regain control. The current market structure indicates that if the price confirms rejection within this supply zone, we could see a move downward toward the 4.4380 level, which represents a logical target within the current market structure Traders should watch for bearish confirmation signals, such as bearish engulfing candles or rejection wicks, before entering short positions.

Copper, we had a great move up, time to reach higher highsHi guys we would be looking into copper today , again focusing on the fundamentals which give us the remark that President Donald Trump will impose international tarriffss on the imports of precious metals! President Donald Trump's threat to impose tariffs on U.S. copper and aluminium imports will result in higher costs for local consumers because of a shortfall in domestic production, analysts and industry participants said on Tuesday. In a speech on Monday, Trump said he would impose tariffs on aluminium and copper - metals needed to produce U.S. military hardware - as well as steel, to entice producers to make them in the United States. Trump made fresh remarks about imposing tariffs on Monday Said he would impose import tariffs on aluminium and copper Also plans tariffs on computer chips, pharmaceuticals, steel US copper futures widen premium over London prices US aluminium buyers face higher costs due to import dependence The rising copper price reflects strong global demand, driven by economic growth, infrastructure development, and the increasing shift toward renewable energy and electric vehicles. Supply constraints and growing industrial use further support this upward trend. This is a positive sign for mining companies, investors, and economies reliant on copper production, as it boosts revenues and encourages further investment in the sector. Additionally, higher copper prices indicate a healthy industrial landscape, reinforcing its vital role in modern technology and sustainability efforts. Entry: 4.28 Target: 4.57 SL area based on your risk management,it can be on the strong support area at 4.08 As always my friends happy trading! P.S.

Copper - Markets are waiting for new moves to start?!Copper is above EMA200 and EMA50 on the 4-hour timeframe and is moving in its descending channel. An upward correction of copper will provide us with a good risk-reward selling position. If the downtrend continues, we can buy copper in the next demand zone. The Monthly Metals Index (MMI) for copper remained largely range-bound, experiencing a slight decline of 0.65% from December to January. Meanwhile, copper prices continue to react to the new U.S. administration and potential shifts in trade policies. Ahead of President Trump’s inauguration, copper prices on the Comex exchange began breaking out of their previous range. By mid-January, copper prices had reached their highest levels since early November. This movement was likely driven by traders anticipating the impact of potential tariffs, some of which could affect the copper market. In contrast, prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME) saw only modest gains, creating a temporary price divergence between the two exchanges. Typically, Comex and LME copper prices move in tandem, making any significant deviations between them noteworthy. Since 2019, the two markets have shown a correlation of 99.76%, with Comex prices averaging a $19 per ton premium over LME prices. However, by January 14, this premium had widened to $402 per ton. It remains uncertain whether this premium will persist in the coming years or revert to historical levels, as seen in previous instances. Historically, such price divergences have been temporary. One notable example was a short squeeze on Comex in late May, which marked the end of the Q2 2024 rally in base metals. During this period, the price gap between LME and Comex surged to $688 per ton, with Comex copper prices reaching a record high of $11,257 per ton. However, this spread quickly narrowed due to shifts in trade flows toward the U.S. market. Although Comex copper contracts attract similar market participation as LME, lower inventory levels make them less liquid. Consequently, when stockpiles decrease, Comex prices become particularly susceptible to sudden surges. Another factor contributing to price divergence was the October port strike, which led to a significant increase in Comex prices. Before the three-day strike began, Comex copper prices had already risen sharply, pushing the spread to $292 per ton until mediators brokered a resolution. Market volatility remains a key risk for copper prices as traders await more details on which products and countries will be affected by new trade barriers. This uncertainty could either drive further price increases or trigger sharp declines if reality fails to align with market expectations. Some of the tariffs proposed by President Trump are likely to serve as negotiation tactics, meaning they may not be fully implemented or could be abandoned if alternative trade agreements are reached. Meanwhile, reports suggest that the Trump administration is considering a phased approach to tariff implementation, which may help mitigate market reactions. A closer look at Trump’s latest stance on China indicates a willingness to de-escalate tensions and increase engagement. However, his previous trade policies were highly aggressive, often involving heavy tariffs on Chinese imports.

Why This Trade? • The overextended rally suggests a short-term pullback. • Technical indicators point to weakening momentum, making the $4.17 price zone an attractive target.

Copper - Markets are waiting for Trump's new decisions!Copper is above EMA200 and EMA50 in the 4-hour timeframe and has left its descending channel. The downward correction of copper will provide us with the opportunity to buy it with the appropriate risk reward. If the upward trend continues, you can sell copper in the next supply zone. In recent days, the value of the U.S. dollar has risen, and Treasury yields have also increased. These developments are primarily driven by expectations that the Federal Reserve will proceed cautiously with interest rate cuts this year. President Trump’s promises to raise tariffs, reduce corporate taxes, and deregulate industries have sparked concerns about rising inflation, which was already persistent even before these policies were implemented. Meanwhile, the U.S. economy appears robust, with strong labor market performance in November and December, indicating that the Federal Reserve may not feel pressured to accelerate interest rate cuts. According to projections, investors anticipate that interest rates will decrease by approximately 0.4% by December 2025. This expectation persists despite reports suggesting the new U.S. administration will implement tariff hikes gradually and December inflation data came in lower than expected. The U.S. Tax Foundation estimates that if the U.S. imposes a 60% tariff on imports from China and a 20% tariff on imports from other countries, the average tariff rate would climb to 17.7%. This would represent the highest level recorded since the 1930s. Trump has pledged to impose steep tariffs on goods imported from various nations; however, economists have warned about the potential consequences of such policies. In a recent Reuters survey, all participating economists predicted that the Federal Reserve would maintain interest rates within the range of 4.25%-4.50% during its January 29 meeting. Additionally, 61 out of 103 economists expect the rate to decrease to 4.00%-4.25% by March. The survey results also reveal that 65 out of 102 economists believe the Federal Reserve will reduce interest rates no more than twice this year (compared to 41 out of 97 in the December survey who held this view). Moreover, 40 out of 49 economists surveyed by Reuters forecast that U.S. inflation in 2025 will likely exceed expectations. Scott Bassant, the nominee for Treasury Secretary in President-elect Trump’s administration, described China’s economy as being in recession. Taking a more pessimistic tone, Bassant labeled China as one of the most unbalanced economies in the world, highlighting the country’s prioritization of military strength and efforts to maintain growth by exporting cheap goods to the rest of the world.
