Copper futures settle down as US dollar strengthens
Aug-12-2025
Copper futures settled down on Monday as the dollar strengthened overseas ahead of the release of July’s US inflation numbers that could help determine whether the Federal Reserve lowers borrowing costs next month. Copper prices weakened further by easing concerns on the supply side after Chile allowed mining to resume at Codelco's El Teniente mine.

Copper futures for September delivery lost $0.0315 to settle at $4.44 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange was down by 0.31 percent at $9,731.50 a ton.
