This reduced long positions in LME copper and ended it lower for the sixth consecutive trading day at $47,300/mt.
This week Copper slid for a second session as the market kicked off 2019 trading amid concerns over growth in top metals consumer China as the latest data showed slowing factory activity.
Pressure also seen as Chile’s copper production touched 540,720 tonnes in November, its highest level in 13 years, as ore grades and efficient processing favoured increased output in the world’s top producer of the red metal, the government said on Monday.
Last night the US dollar increased as weak economic data from some major economies caused concerns over global growth, and sparked demand for safe havens. The dollar index, which measures the greenback against six major peers, rose 0.71% at 96.81 in late trading.
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the US stock market suffered “a little glitch” in December but that it would go up once he negotiates trade deals with China and others.
From the economical data points Factory activity weakened across much of Europe and Asia in December as the US-China trade war and a slowdown in demand hit production in many economies.
Results of a Caixin survey on China’s manufacturing in December indicated that factory activity contracted for the first time in 19 months amid a trade dispute with the US.
