09 Jan 2026 Evaluate

Copper futures settled lower on Thursday, as investors opted for booking taking from their recent sharp rally. Further, firm American currency also dampened copper sentiments. Meanwhile, the expected 50% rise in global copper demand by 2040, driven by expanding artificial intelligence, defense and robotics industries, has kept supporting the red metal.

Copper futures for March delivery fell $0.064 or 1.09% at $5.7965 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange was down by 1.39% at $ 12,720.50 a ton.
