Copper futures traded higher last week, but have faded off the Friday high. Nonetheless, the recent uptick undermines the recent bearish threat and a continuation higher would pave the way for a test of resistance at $396.40, the Jun 22 high. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the bull cycle that started on May 24, and open $403.68, a Fibonacci retracement point. Key short-term support lies at $368.30, the Jun 29 low.
