However, subsequent economic reports have assuaged these concerns, leading to a recovery in copper prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The market is now looking forward to the potential for a U.S. interest rate cut in September 2024, which would likely boost industrial demand and provide further support to the metal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Related article: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vtmarkets.com\/blog\/education\/interest-rate-tug-of-war-for-central-banks-hawkish-vs-dovish\/\">Interest rate tug-of-war for central banks<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">U.S. economic data released on Thursday showed that the economy grew slightly faster than expected in the second quarter.
