Copper futures were trading almost flat on Monday as investors’ focus squarely on a looming deadline for a US-China trade deal. Meanwhile, a softer dollar ahead of key US inflation data due this week and a possible Fed rate cut have also kept copper prices unchanged.
Copper futures for September delivery lost $0.0015 or 0.03% at $4.47 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange.
