Dear Traders,
Taking the Pulse of Dr. Copper for 2019
by: CMEGroup
- Copper rose 72% in 2016-17 on Chinese growth but is down 18% so far in 2018
- Supply continued to grow in 2018, likely from strong mining profitability
- Price trend for 2019 will depend on Chinese demand, U.S. dollar strength
- Brexit outcome, Italian debt concerns also could influence copper next year
Natural gas numbers will come out Friday instead of the normal Thursday time.
Effective this Sunday, Dec. 9 – Eurex will open during U.S. evening time, and extend their exchange daily trading to near 21 hours.
Daily closing time will remain the same, at 3pm Chicago time.
Per below screenshot from Eurex website – time conversions to U.S.:

Open — CET 01:15 am –> 6:15pm Chicago time
Close — CET 22:00 –> 15:00 Chicago time
