Copper futures gain on demand recovery hopes from China

22 Aug 2022 Evaluate
Copper futures gained on Monday due to expectations of a demand recovery in the world’s top metal consumer after China cut its benchmark lending rates to boost a sluggish economy. Although, uncertainty over the US Federal Reserve’s path of monetary tightening persisted, and all are waiting for Fed Chair Jerome Powell’s address to the Jackson Hole Symposium this Friday. 

Copper futures for September delivery gained $0.007 or 0.19% at $3.6715 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange.
