Growing signs of weakness are emerging in the global copper market, particularly in physical trading. Even before geopolitical tensions surrounding the conflict in Iran raised fears about slower global economic growth, copper sellers were already facing difficulty finding buyers.

Copper Climbs Above $13,000
