Copper futures settle higher on weak American currency overseas
Mar-11-2026
Copper futures settled higher on Tuesday as the American currency weakened against its major peers overseas, made dollar-denominated metals more attractive to international buyers. Copper prices also remained supported by a wave of downstream procurement from China’s construction and renewable energy sectors. However, some gains were capped by rising inventories. 

Copper futures for May delivery rose $0.1035 to settle at $5.9520 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange was up by 1.44% at $13,140 a ton.
