Copper futures end down on softening demand signals from China
Jan-22-2026

Copper futures ended down on Wednesday due to softening demand signals from top consumer China and profit-taking after record highs. Copper prices weakened further on firm American currency as US President Donals Trump withdrew a threat to impose tariffs on a number of ‌nations for their stance on Greenland, saying he had reached the outlines of a deal with NATO on the future of the strategic Arctic Island. Traders were cautiously eyeing the delayed US PCE inflation report that could provide more clues on the Federal Reserve's interest rate path. 

Copper futures for March delivery fell $0.0445 to settle at $5.7680 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. However, Copper on the London Metal Exchange was up by 0.44% at $12,810 a ton.
