Copper Futures: Downside seen limited

In light of flash data for Copper futures markets from CME Group, open interest dropped by just 872 contracts on Thursday, resuming the downside after Wednesday’s build. On the other hand, volume reversed three consecutive pullbacks and rose by around 3.5K contracts.
