LONDON, September 19: Dealers said on Monday that if the London Metal Exchange (LME) copper fails to rebound above the $3,500/ton level, copper prices may decline further, due to negative technical factors and recent fundamental conditions. Market pressure.


Aluminum will withstand similar pressure. Aluminum has fallen below the support level at $1,800/ton, while other metals are also expected to weaken.


The increase in metals, particularly copper stocks, and signs that investment funds have lost confidence in commodity markets that have been rising for a long time have caused metal prices to fall sharply last week.


"If the market continues to fall, I will not be surprised. Copper prices have fallen below the bottom line." A trader said.


The increase in stocks has caused the price of copper to deviate from the original trend, traders said, suggesting that consumer demand from the previous quarter may not be as strong as expected.
