The 1-hour chart for Copper-C shows the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/soft-commodities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"commodity trading\">commodity trading<\/a> at 4.1170 after reaching a high of 4.1449. The price action is facing resistance near the 4.12 level, as indicated by the horizontal dashed line. The EMA (24, 24, 72) is flattening, suggesting a potential consolidation phase. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The MACD indicator shows a slight decline in momentum, with the histogram turning red, indicating a potential bearish crossover. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the price fails to break above the 4.12 resistance, it could lead to a pullback towards the support levels at 4.10 and 4.05. However, a successful breakout above this level may lead to a continuation of the bullish trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Strike in Chilean mine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The primary catalyst for this recovery has been the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/markets\/commodities\/bhp-striking-union-escondida-mine-discuss-moving-positions-closer-source-says-2024-08-14\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"labour strike at the Escondida mine in Chile\">labour strike at the Escondida mine in Chile<\/a>. This mine is crucial to global copper supply, accounting for nearly 5% of the total output in 2023. Any disruption here could tighten the copper market, which is already sensitive to supply fluctuations due to the metal&#8217;s extensive industrial applications.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the demand side, recent US economic indicators have provided a much-needed boost to market sentiment. Retail sales and employment data have surpassed expectations, reducing the immediate risk of a recession in the world\u2019s largest economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given copper&#8217;s widespread use in various industries, such positive data directly impacts its demand prospects, helping to stabilise and lift prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Copper rose for a second day as traders weighed bearish Chinese economic data against labor disruptions at the world\u2019s biggest mine <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gCWTCTFSgJ\">https:\/\/t.co\/gCWTCTFSgJ<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Bloomberg Markets (@markets) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/markets\/status\/1824092609779827000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 15, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Market outlook for the base metal\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recent bounce in copper prices suggests that the market is responding favourably to both supply concerns and improving economic data.
