Copper rises for a sixth straight session, marking best streak in 4 months
Copper extended gains for a sixth session as Shanghai inventories fell to 43,900 tons (lowest since 2023) and Chinese pre-holiday restocking kept warehouse supply tight. Additional support comes from earlier US tariff-related import flows that have squeezed availability elsewhere. The move underscores near-term physical tightness despite macro headwinds from higher rates, with broad LME base metals also firmer.
