The Week
United States Copper Index (CPER) added 0.71% last week to close at $39.95, outperforming the S&P 500 by roughly 0.62 percentage points. The week started with a gap higher at $40.26 on Monday but quickly pulled back, hitting a weekly low of $38.99 on Tuesday. Prices then recovered over the next three sessions to finish at $39.95, still below Monday’s open. The weekly range was a modest 3.15%, and turnover came in slightly below its recent average. Only two news items crossed the wire during the week, both pointing to steady copper prices against softer dollar conditions and tight supply in base metals, with nothing specific to the ETF itself.
The Week Ahead
On 8 September the US releases the NFIB Small Business Optimism Index. Thursday 10 September brings a busy slate: 10-year Treasury auctions, initial jobless claims, producer price data, existing home sales, wholesale sales and EIA natural gas inventory. Given copper’s sensitivity to the dollar and rate expectations, these releases are the key signals to watch for the metal’s near-term direction.
