This year, copper has seen a 19% increase and is now just $600 shy of its<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WSJ\/status\/1780643992742301915\"> 2022 peak<\/a> price of $10,845.<\/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 and aluminum prices both breached their highest levels since 2022 and 2023, respectively, as global demand picks up and supplies tighten <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UYO3JeYU03\">https:\/\/t.co\/UYO3JeYU03<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UYO3JeYU03\">https:\/\/t.co\/UYO3JeYU03<\/a><\/p>&mdash; The Wall Street Journal (@WSJ) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/WSJ\/status\/1780643992742301915?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 17, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Investments have surged into base metals, driven by expectations of U.S. rate cuts, ongoing supply disruptions, and a rising demand for metals in sectors related to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/tools\/education\/trading-guides\/energy-trading\/\">green energy<\/a>.

The second quarter, usually a period of strong demand, has seen lower-than-expected consumption levels. In the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shfe.com.cn\/\">Shanghai Futures Exchange<\/a> (SHFE), the most-traded June copper contract rose by 1.7% to 82,070 yuan ($11,339.08) per ton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Mixed performance in LME metals market<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/precious-metals\/\">metals<\/a>, LME aluminium edged up by 0.3% to $2,550 per ton, while tin climbed 1.1% to $33,265. However, nickel saw a decrease of 0.3% to $19,165, zinc dropped by 0.4% to $2,987, and lead eased by 0.3% to $2,243.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the SHFE, aluminium rose by 0.3% to 20,545 yuan per ton. Zinc increased by 1% to 23,660 yuan, lead advanced by 1.1% to 18,295 yuan, and tin jumped by 3.5% to 271,010 yuan. Nickel fell by 0.4% to 143,000 yuan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This dynamic in metal prices indicates a complex interplay between investment flows and real-world demand, shaping the market&#8217;s trajectory in the near term. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">CFD trading offers opportunities to capitalise on these fluctuations, allowing traders to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Start trading now \u2014 click <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/get-trading\/forex-trading-account\/?utm_campaign=account_c&amp;utm_source=dma&amp;utm_medium=website\"><strong>here<\/strong><\/a><strong> to create your live VT Markets account.<\/strong><\/p>\n\r\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><b>Start trading now \u2014 click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/en-ca\/trade-now\/\">here<\/a> to create your real VT Markets account.<\/b>\n\n<\/p>\n\n<!-- vt-src:16416 -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key points Copper prices reached their highest point since April 2022 on Tuesday, propelled by significant fund inflows into the base metals sector, despite diminished demand from China.
