Copper Slides 2.68% After 44% Supply Deficit Warning for 2050

Copper fell 2.68% on October 22, breaking a key April support trendline. The drop came after BloombergNEF warned of a 44% supply deficit by 2050, but the same report sees a 2026 surplus. Traders are pricing the near term cushion. Copper now trades near $6.51 per pound, down 6% from its September record. Technical indicators suggest further downside.
