Copper edges higher, set for weekly gain on tight China supply
AI Market Summary
Copper edged higher and is set for a weekly gain as tight spot supply in China, the key end-market, supported prices. However, a firmer USD and renewed inflation concerns moderated upside, highlighting a push-pull between physical tightness and macro headwinds. Near-term sensitivity should remain high to Chinese availability signals and dollar-driven risk conditions.
