Copper futures end down on profit booking
Dec-30-2025
Copper futures ended down on Monday on profit booking after hitting an all-time high due to fears of global shortages and traders bet on longer-term demand from electrification and artificial-intelligence infrastructure. Copper prices weakened further after the US-based CME Group raised margin requirements across a range of metals contracts. Meanwhile, investors awaited the Federal Reserve’s December meeting minutes, for further clues on the path of interest rates. 

Copper futures for March delivery dropped $0.273 to settle at $5.5665 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. However, Copper on the London Metal Exchange was up by 0.49% at $12,222 a ton.
