Copper futures settle higher on Tuesday

02 Jul 2025 Evaluate
Copper futures settled higher on Tuesday due to continuous tariff threats by the US President Donald Trump on copper imports, while a weaker American currency also boosted the dollar-denominated copper futures as they became cheaper to global traders. Copper prices improved further by increasing optimism over Chinese demand after a recent survey showed China’s factory activity returned to expansion in June, boosted by increasing orders after a month of contraction. Moreover, mounting concerns over global supply shortages also supported sentiments.

Copper futures for September delivery gained $0.017 to settle at $5.0995 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange was up by 0.66 percent at $9,934 a ton.
