Copper prices respond to global economic growth expectations, manufacturing activity, and supply-side shocks. Key catalysts include central bank policy announcements, employment reports, and industrial production data that signal demand strength. Geopolitical tensions affecting major copper-producing regions, labor strikes, or mining disruptions can tighten supply and push prices higher. Currency movements, particularly USD strength, also influence copper valuations.
