Big Banks Raise Copper Targets Citi and Goldman Sachs have turned more bullish on copper, with both banks raising their price forecasts as tariff uncertainty continues to support the market. Citi analysts said on Monday that they now expect copper to reach $14,500 per metric ton next month and $15,000 per metric ton within a year, marking the bank’s first bullish call on the metal in 2026. Goldman Sachs also raised its year end copper price target to $13,735 per metric ton, up from its previous forecast of $12,465. A key risk to these forecasts is the Trump administration’s decision on whether to continue with its staged introduction of levies, beginning at 15% on the first day of 2027. The U.S. Commerce Secretary has until June 30 to provide an updated recommendation to President Donald Trump.

Copper Holding Its Breath!Copper is currently compressing inside a tightening wedge while several broader timing pressures begin clustering into early next week. Price has also reached an important area within its larger cycle structure, which makes the current compression even more interesting from a timing perspective. At the moment, the market still seems undecided — although copper does have a habit of going from “absolutely nothing to see here” to full emotional damage in a surprisingly short amount of time. Volatility continues to contract beneath the surface while price coils tighter inside the structure. For now, patience remains key while watching for a confirmed breakout from the wedge.

Copper at $13,652: EMA support confirms sustainable bull trend The base metals complex witnessed a strong institutional buying frenzy. Copper has entered a period of parabolic growth, where the metal is trading at a large premium of 13,652. This move out of technical resistance is indicative of an institutionally-driven short squeeze as a result of ongoing physical shortages. These price gains have been triggered by disruptions in the supply chain. The Strait of Hormuz issue has exacerbated energy issues, causing higher expenses at mines and refineries, thus lowering the production rate of copper. Additionally, there is a high level of demand due to essential industrial needs such as the growth of renewable energy initiatives, power grid upgrades, and artificial intelligence data centers. Demand currently exceeds mine production, meaning that physical stocks are highly sought after by corporations. In terms of technical, reading through the signals on the chart indicates a healthy balance within the market conditions. This is indicated by the fact that the RSI is currently standing at 60.14, meaning that the asset is not exhausted in any way since there is still room for growth before going vertical. Additionally, the 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day EMAs are aligned well with each other. This is because the price line is moving with them without creating any vertical divergence, indicating sustainable trend accumulation. Trade recommendation : Direction : Long Entry range : 13,350 – 13,550 Primary target : 14,250 (Psychological milestone and extension zone). Secondary target : 14,800 Stop loss : 12,980 Parabolic continuation : Daily close above 13,650 + High volume will lead to direct expansion toward 14,250 as structural shorts capitulate. The mean-reversion dip : RSI rejecting 80 and curling down under 70 will result in a sharp, volatile pullback to 13,100 to retest the 20-day EMA support anchor. High-level consolidation : Price flagging between 13,400 and 13,600 suggests sideways digestion to clear the overbought RSI before the next leg higher.

Copper at a Critical Decision Point: Short-Term vs. Long-Term CoOn the daily timeframe , Copper has reached the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level, while the RSI has simultaneously entered overbought territory (above 70). These two strong signals warn of a potential reversal or price correction. The inverted head-and-shoulders pattern that has formed also points to a corrective target around the $6.2 level. From this perspective, expecting a pullback toward $6.2 and even $5.8 seems reasonable. On the other hand, the weekly timeframe tells a completely different story. Copper is on the verge of breaking out of a rising channel. A confirmed close above the channel's upper boundary would pave the way toward a $8.43 per pound target. However, this breakout must be accompanied by high volume to avoid a false breakout. This contradiction between the two timeframes shows that the Copper market is at a decisive crossroads. On the daily chart, overbought signals and the Fibonacci target suggest a correction is likely. But on higher timeframes (weekly and above), the overall structure remains bullish, and a successful breakout could invalidate any short-term pullback. 🔸 Trading Suggestions: - For short-term traders (4H and daily): Expecting a correction toward the $6.2 – $5.8 range is logical. Cautious traders can wait for reversal signals within these zones. - For long-term traders: Wait for a strong weekly close above the channel resistance (around $6.80) with high volume. A confirmed breakout would activate the $8.43 target. The current state of the Copper market is a classic example of conflicting short-term and long-term signals. As long as price holds above the $6.2 support , the long-term bullish structure remains intact. However, a break below $6.2 would increase the likelihood of a deeper correction toward $5.8 and even $5.3 .

The Weak Link in Copper’s Supply ChainCopper markets are drifting toward a supply shock, but I believe the pressure point is being overlooked. The constraint is not ore quality or mining capacity. It is sulfuric acid, a critical input for modern copper production. This chemical sits at the center of SX-EW processing, which is widely used to extract copper from lower grade ores. When acid supply tightens, production does not immediately stop, but it slows in ways that ripple through global supply. A rare alignment of geopolitical and industrial forces is now squeezing that system. China, the world’s largest exporter of sulfuric acid, is preparing to halt exports in order to secure domestic supply for fertilizer production. At the same time, ongoing conflict affecting flows through the Strait of Hormuz is disrupting sulfur shipments, which are the key feedstock used to produce sulfuric acid. This creates a dual shock, cutting both the raw input and the refined output that copper producers depend on. The effects are already visible. Chile, the largest copper producer globally, has seen Chinese acid shipments fall sharply, putting a significant portion of its leaching-based production at risk if shortages persist. The Democratic Republic of the Congo, which accounts for a meaningful share of global copper output, faces a similar vulnerability. Many operations there rely on imported sulfur or acid tied to Middle Eastern supply chains and maintain limited inventories, leaving little buffer against sustained disruption. What makes this situation notable is how concentrated the risk has become. Two of the most important copper-producing regions are now exposed to the same constraint at the same time. This shifts the conversation away from long term supply debates and toward near term operational fragility. Key dynamics driving the situation: •China is restricting sulfuric acid exports to prioritize domestic fertilizer demand, removing a major balancing force in global supply. •Disruptions linked to the Strait of Hormuz are constraining sulfur flows, tightening the upstream input needed for acid production •Chile’s copper output is heavily dependent on acid-intensive leaching, making it immediately sensitive to shortages •The Democratic Republic of the Congo relies on imported sulfur and acid with limited inventory buffers, increasing its exposure to supply shocks •Sulfuric acid prices are already rising, signaling tightening conditions across both fertilizer and metals markets What happens next depends heavily on how long these disruptions persist. If shipping constraints and export restrictions extend into mid-summer, the copper market may begin to feel a more pronounced supply squeeze. Production losses would likely build gradually rather than all at once, but even modest reductions can tighten a market that is already finely balanced. It is important to stay grounded here. Some forecasts still point to a copper surplus this year, which means a sharp price spike is not guaranteed. However, the risk profile has clearly shifted. A key industrial input that was once stable has become exposed to geopolitical disruption, and that introduces a new layer of uncertainty. The bigger takeaway is simple. Copper supply risk is no longer just about what is in the ground. It is increasingly about whether the chemical and logistical systems required to process it can keep up. Markets tend to recognize those constraints only after they begin to bite, not before and if large capital allocation begins we may see a rise regardless of the surplus this year.

Copper Hit $6.71: Is This the Final Push or a New Beginning?Copper Hit $6.71: Is This the Final Push or a New Beginning? AI electricity infrastructure, Grasberg supply risk, and a sulfuric acid crisis on top... All pricing in simultaneously. So what's Copper's story on the long-term chart? Copper is currently trading at $6.64 and above its 52-week moving average (5.33). While AlphaTrend continues to generate buy signals, momentum (SQZMOM) just turned positive (0.09) but acceleration remains weak. A weekly close above $6.71 or SQZMOM above 0.20 could strengthen the bulls in Copper, with new targets at $7.62 and $8.61. Right now, all these fundamental and technical data point to a long-term uptrend in Copper. What could this mean for equities? If Copper's strength continues, which US stocks could benefit from this situation? Five US companies directly feeding on the copper theme: FCX (Freeport-McMoRan) The purest publicly traded copper play. Grasberg production uncertainty is a double-edged sword — supply tightness supports prices short-term, production recovery brings volume long-term. Highest sensitivity to copper prices here. SCCO (Southern Copper) Low cost profile + strong production. Margin expansion reflects here fastest in rallies. BHP & RIO Despite diversified portfolios, copper investments are growing. Not pure plays but defensive choices. TECK (Teck Resources) Post-coal sale, shifted to copper-focused structure, freshest thematic momentum story here. Thanks for reading!

Market DNA - Cycle2 Fractal 3 RealizedTitle: Market DNA – Fractal 3 Structural Observation (Realized) Sub-title: Multi-Asset Structural Progression (Fractal 1 → 2 → 3) Metadata: • Date: 2026-05-13 00:10 EST • Assets: Copper (Copper) • Cycle IDs: 2 1- Context This document presents a structural observation across multiple Market DNA cycles. The analysis is based on previously published and time-stamped cycle records, tracking their progression from Fractal 1 through Fractal 3. 2- Observation Summary • Multiple assets analyzed • Multiple cycles tracked • Consistent structural progression observed • Fractal 1 structures were previously defined and published. • Fractal 2 completion observed across cycles. • Fractal 3 currently approaching completion across multiple assets. • Completion tends to occur within or near the trapezoidal time window. 3- Fractal Cycle Evolution (F1 → F2 → F3) Observed Evolution: Fractal 1 → Initial structural encoding of the cycle (M–P(c) definition and initial boundary formation). Fractal 2 → Structural development and interaction within defined boundaries. Fractal 3 → Activation window for structural release and completion of the primary cycle. 4- Hypothesis Fractal 3 may represent a dominant structural activation window where accumulated time-pressure and structural interactions lead to directional release and cycle completion. 5- Status This is an ongoing observation and not yet a validated law. Further documentation and additional samples are required. 6- Cross-Asset Observation Across all analyzed assets, Fractal 3 structures show consistent alignment in both price interaction and time progression. Completion tends to occur within a bounded time window, with limited deviation. 7- Key Insight Fractal 3 appears to act as a structural activation window, where accumulated field pressure and temporal distortion (time bending) interact and resolve through accelerated price movement. 8- Conclusion Current observations indicate a consistent structural behavior across multiple Market DNA cycles, where Fractal 3 functions as a critical activation and completion layer. Multiple instances have now been documented. Further validation is required to determine whether this behavior represents a general structural principle. 9- Disclaimer This document is part of the Market DNA structural market research framework.

Copper closed at record highCopper prices hit a record high as supply shortages intensified following China's decision to halt sulfur exports, a consequence of Middle East supply disruptions critical to the copper refining process. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz continues to constrain sulfur supply, primarily impacting African copper producers. These nations, accounting for 20% of global supply, lack domestic sulfuric acid and depend heavily on imports from the Gulf and China. Beyond copper, industrial metals see robust demand from the energy transition and AI infrastructure. This trend is evident in China's strong Apr export data, which grew over 14% YoY, driven largely by high-tech sectors. Consequently, copper prices might remain elevated until the Strait of Hormuz reopens. However, the probability of a full reopening in the short term remains low due to ongoing nuclear tensions. Technically, XCUUSD trades near resistance at 6.5100, maintaining strong bullish momentum supported by expanding EMAs. A breach above 6.5100 might lead XCUUSD to further strengthen toward the 76.8% Fibonacci extension at 6.5720, potentially reaching 6.7650. Conversely, if the price fails to hold above 6.4200, it might find support at the 50% Fibonacci extension at 6.3140. By Van Ha Trinh - Financial Market Strategist at Exness

Copper (XCU/USD) Approaches Breakout — Bullish ExpansionCopper price action is nearing a potential breakout above the current trading channel, with price pressing against the upper boundary. A confirmed move above this level would signal a bullish continuation and a shift toward higher targets. Channel Resistance Test 🔺 — Price pushing toward breakout zone Bullish Breakout Potential 🚀 — Structure favors upside continuation $8.43 Fibonacci Target 🎯 — Extension level in focus From a technical perspective, a breakout above the channel high would mark a clear structural shift, confirming bullish momentum and opening the path toward the Fibonacci extension target at $8.43. This level represents a key objective for the next expansion phase. However, the breakout must be supported by increasing volume to validate the move. Without strong participation, price risks forming a false breakout and returning back into the channel range. The current structure suggests growing bullish pressure, but confirmation is still required. A strong close above resistance, backed by rising volume, would solidify the breakout and increase the probability of continued upside. Overall, Copper is approaching a critical moment. A confirmed breakout could trigger a strong expansion move, while failure to break higher may result in continued consolidation within the channel.
