"We remain positive on copper following the supply downgrades that were announced in the fourth quarter and have tightened 2024 balances," said Standard Chartered analyst Sudakshina Unnikrishnan.
"However, demand concerns remain, with ongoing worries over China's real estate sector and the trajectory of Fed policy."
