Copper futures settle down on Monday
Jul-15-2025

Copper futures settled down on Monday as the American currency strengthened after the US President Donald Trump escalated trade tensions on the European Union and Mexico. Strength in the American currency makes it less attractive for foreign investors. Meanwhile, investors awaited Tuesday's US Consumer Price Index data and the Producer Price Index report on Wednesday for clues into the US Federal Reserve's potential policy path.

Copper futures for September delivery lost $0.054 to settle at $5.5505 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange was down by 0.43 percent at $9,619 a ton.
