Copper prices have been declining under the influence of negative macro factors, and rose slightly today. However, in view of the continued pressure on the macro surface and the fact that terminal consumption is not ideal, copper prices are on the short side in the long run, but the short-term supply side still exists. There is a certain degree of support for the price of copper. Global copper production fell 1.8 per cent between January and February this year, with declines in Chile and Indonesia offsetting growth in other countries, according to the latest figures released by (ICSG), an international copper research group.
