Copper futures end higher on Wednesday
Feb-19-2026

Copper futures ended higher on Wednesday, in spite of dollar gains on the hawkish minutes of the January FOMC meeting after several officials suggested the US central bank may need to raise interest rates if inflation stays above its goal. Copper investors stepped in to buy the dip following a sharp decline to more than one-week lows and as industrial metals prices tracked a rebound in technology stocks. Trading volumes remained thin due to the Lunar New Year holidays in China and other Asian markets.

Copper futures for March delivery rose $0.1605 to settle at $5.8030 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange was up by 2.31% at $12,911.50 a ton.
