Fundamentals of copper also remain weak.
- China consumes about 40% of world's copper production and slowdown is not being kind to the industry.
- Chinese copper demand is expected to grow at 2.5% in 2015, however that is not enough as supply remains large enough to surpass that.
- Moreover there are talks China is substituting Copper with Aluminum, where possible in a bid to reduce imports. This if proven to be true, could push copper way down.
