Fundamental
Overview
Last week, copper had a great performance following the easing in trade war
fears. In fact, we tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China weighed on the market
initially but as we got the pause in tariffs for Canada and Mexico following
positive talks, the market bounced back strongly.
The positive sentiment continued throughout the week as China went with
just a very soft retaliation against the US tariffs suggesting that there is no
interest in a trade war.

Technical Analysis – Daily Timeframe
Copper Daily
On the daily chart, we can
see that copper is now approaching the key 4.69 resistance. This is where we can expect the
sellers to step in with a defined risk above the resistance to position for a
pullback into the major trendline. The buyers, on the other hand,
will want to see the price breaking higher to increase the bullish bets into
the 5.17 level next.
