  • Copper rejected at highs, edges lower from session highs at 2.731.
     
  • Some intraday weakness seen on daily charts, but weekly charts are bullishly aligned.
     
  • China's copper trade data for the month of December showed that overall copper imports rose in December, posting a solid close to a strong year for China’s copper market. 
     
  • Bias higher as long as pair closes above trendline at 2.70. We then see scope for test of 2.752 (Nov 28 highs).
