Copper futures failed to hold onto recent gains and traded lower last week. Price remains closer to recent lows. The move lower resulted in a break of $355.10, the Aug 18 low, undermining the recent bullish theme and highlights a potential reversal, signalling scope for a deeper pullback. Note that $342.80 has also been cleared, the Aug 4 low. This opens $313.55, the Jul 15 low. Key resistance is unchanged at $378.35, the Aug 26 high.
