Copper futures settle lower on Friday
May-16-2026
Copper futures settled lower on Friday, pressured by accelerating US inflation and soaring US Treasury yields that drove the dollar to multi-week highs. A stronger US dollar makes copper more expensive for international buyers.

Copper futures for July delivery fell $0.3165 to settle at $6.2950 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange was down by 2.75% at $13,555 a ton.
