Copper futures have recovered from Monday’s low of $428.20. The contract is again above the 50-day EMA and attention turns to $460.10, the Jan 12 high and key short-term resistance. A break of $460.10 is required to strengthen a bullish theme. On the downside, key short-term support has been defined at $428.20, the Jan 31 low where a break would reinstate a bearish threat.
