# Weekly Recap | CPER.US +2.68%, closing in on record highs

## The Week

United States Copper Index (CPER.US) gained 2.68% this week, closing at $40.23 and comfortably outpacing the S&P 500’s -0.08%. The move wasn’t a straight line. The ETF hovered near $38.06 on Monday, ticked up to $38.67 on Tuesday, then pulled back to $38.590 on Wednesday. Buying resumed on Thursday with a jump to $39.660, and Friday added another leg higher to a session high of $40.245 before settling at $40.23. The weekly range came to 5.72%, with the strongest push in the final two sessions. News flow was light: two items touched on copper tariff worries and a rise in LME copper prices, but there was no major catalyst.

## The Week Ahead

A busy run of US macro data lands next week, including the Richmond Fed composite index, EIA crude oil inventories, initial jobless claims, and new home sales. Copper tends to react to manufacturing and inventory signals, so any surprises there could stir volatility in copper-linked ETFs. With Friday’s close sitting just below the 41.29 range high from 9 September, the key price question is whether CPER can hold above $40 and make another attempt at that level.
