Copper futures settle down on weakening demand
Oct-17-2025
Copper futures settled down on Thursday on weakening demand, despite dovish Fed comments after Fed Governor Christopher Waller said the Fed can keep lowering interest rates to support a faltering labor market. Moreover, worries over ongoing US-China trade tensions and the impact of the US government shutdown have also added more pressure on copper prices. However, some falls were limited by supply concerns in several countries in line with warnings about falling processing fee.

Copper futures for December delivery fell $0.0155 to settle at $4.9990 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. However, Copper on the London Metal Exchange was up by 0.06% at $10,647 a ton.
