Copper prices edge up in thin trade after past week’s tumble

Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange (LME) rose 0.1% to $8,949.5 a metric ton in official open-outcry trading.

Adding further pressure, the International Copper Study Group said on Friday that the global refined copper market was in a 287,000 metric ton surplus for the first 10 months of 2024.

With a mean reversion strategy in play, copper is likely to strengthen back above the crucial $9,000 mark, Sucden Financial analysts said.
