Copper is trading below $ 7,800 a ton on a 7-week low. In addition to weaker Asian stock markets and a firmer US dollar, sales by speculative financial investors should also contribute to this. The latter already reduced their net long positions in copper by 24% to 18.1 thousand contracts in the week ending October 23. This is the lowest level in five weeks, but historically it is still relatively high. The continued high level of optimism among investors is standing in the way of a sustained price increase and is likely to be reduced further. However, we also consider the downside potential to be low. Because the last economic indicators already give us a positive opinion. For example, the preliminary purchasing managers' index for the manufacturing sector in China, which was calculated by HSBC last week and increased significantly, indicates a good “official” number above 50 for October. The US counterpart, the ISM index, which will also be published on Thursday, could also surprise positively. The leading indicators in the two most important demand countries for metals would thus point to a recovery, which could have a supportive effect on prices. In the absence of fundamental data, macro data will largely influence events in the metal markets this week. which will also be published on Thursday, could surprise positively.
