Copper futures settle down on stronger dollar

28 Jul 2023 Evaluate
Copper futures settled lower on Thursday as a stronger US dollar makes commodities priced in the American currency more expensive for buyers using other currencies, while US Federal Reserve’s hike of benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to highest level in 22 years also weighed on copper prices. Copper prices dampened further on worries that Chinese policymakers were not releasing more details on stimulus measures to fulfil recent support pledges.

Copper futures for September delivery lost $0.0265 to settle at $3.8755 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange was down by 0.56 percent at $8,569 a ton.
