- 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).
- On the flipside, close below 2.70 could see test of 5-DMA at 2.656. Break below finds next major support at 2.584 (50-DMA).
