Copper futures settle higher on Friday
Dec-20-2025
Copper futures settled higher on Friday after another optimistic forecast by Goldman Sachs highlighted mine supply constraints. Copper prices improved further as a soft inflation reading in the United States strengthens expectations for interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. However, some gains were limited by a firmer American currency overseas, with investors trimming positions ahead of the Christmas holiday. 

Copper futures for March delivery rose $0.0725 to settle at $5.51 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange was up by 0.88% at $11,881.50 a ton.
