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.
