Copper prices are steady as investors focus on potential changes in supply, while trading activity thins ahead of a Chinese national holiday. Bloomberg reports that the holiday is expected to dampen market volumes, keeping price moves relatively contained as traders look for signals on how supply could shift.
Moneyweb adds that copper rises slightly in early trading on the London Metal Exchange, edging up about 0.1% to $14,421 per tonne around 9:56 a.m. Singapore time. Together, the reports reflect a market that is largely waiting for supply-related developments and is operating with reduced liquidity due to the holiday period.
