Copper soars to the highest levels in over a year this year, driven by renewed optimism regarding global economic growth and expectations of monetary easing from the world’s major central banks. This surge reflects growing confidence among investors that the downturn in manufacturing, including even China, may have past its worst. The prospect of interest rate cuts this year further fuels this positive mood for commodities like copper.
Technically, Copper’s rally from 3.5021 resumed this week and it’s now on track to 161.8% projection of 3.5021 to 3.9346 from 3.6324 at 4.3322, which is close to 4.3556 (2023 high). In any case, outlook will stay bullish as long as 3.9380 support holds. The bigger question is whether Copper is indeed resuming the rise from 3.1314 (2022 low) too. Let’s see.
