NEW DELHI (Scrap Register): India major brass and copper scrap prices advanced on Thursday, while copper futures prices at India's Multi Commodity Exchange settled down amid the anticipation for a meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and China's leader Xi Jinping.

India's major copper scrap commodities like brass accessories, brass huny scrap, copper cathod lme ++, copper heavy scrap, copper mixed scrap, copper pat, copper super d.rod, copper utensil scrap and copper wire scrap traded higher on Thursday.

The most active April copper contract on the India's Multi Commodity Exchange settled down by 1.42 percent to Rs. 380.65 per kilogram on Thursday from previous close of Rs. 386.15 per kilogram. Copper Futures at MCX touched an intra-day high of Rs. 385.40 per kilogram and an intra-day low of Rs. 378.80 per kilogram during Thursday.

Copper prices look firm as support seen after dollar dropped after the United States launched cruise missiles against an air base in Syria.

In Asia, investors were paring risk before a potentially tense meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping later on Thursday where China's trade surplus will be high on the agenda.

Before the holiday, the black chain is unlikely to see a trend-driven market [SMM Steel Industry Chain Weekly Report].

This week, ferrous metals were in the doldrums, with coking coal and coke staging a mid-week rise. At the beginning of the week, financial markets experienced sharp fluctuations, dragging down sentiment in the ferrous chain and leading to a pullback in futures. Mid-week, Indonesia's cut to coke production quotas drove coking coal and coke futures to lead the gains, though the impact was more pronounced on thermal coal, while coking coal's rise was largely sentiment-driven and short-lived. In the latter part of the week, finished products continued their seasonal inventory buildup, and support from the raw material side weakened, causing the entire ferrous chain to pull back. In the spot market, with the Chinese New Year holiday approaching, purchasing activity slowed down further, with end-users only making limited, as-needed purchases at low prices.
