Copper futures settle down on stronger dollar

26 Sep 2023 Evaluate
Copper futures settled down on Monday as stronger US dollar makes dollar-priced metals more expensive to holders of other currencies. Copper prices weakened further on demand concerns after major central banks including the US Federal Reserve have indicated they will keep interest rates higher for longer to tame surging inflation. Moreover, increase in stockpiles in exchange warehouses also weighed on copper prices, while many traders stayed on the sidelines ahead of a long public holiday in the world’s top metal consumer China.

Copper futures for December delivery declined $0.0260 to settle at $3.67 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange was down by 0.93 percent at $8,145.50 a ton.
