Copper futures trade lower on easing tariff fears

18 Feb 2025 Evaluate
Copper futures traded lower on Tuesday, as concerns over potential US tariffs on copper imports subsided. President Donald Trump indicated that implementation of copper tariffs was expected to be slower than those for aluminium and steel, reducing immediate market concerns. Further, stronger American currency overseas, which makes copper more expensive for foreign buyers, also dampened copper sentiments. The US stock market was closed for Washington's Birthday on Monday.

Copper futures for March delivery dipped by $0.0645 or 1.38% at $ 4.6000 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange.
