Copper Futures: Rebound could extend further

Copper now targets the 200-day SMA above 2.68

Prices of the futures of the base metal remain in ‘recovery mode’ and could advance further after printing 2020 lows in sub-2.50 levels earlier in the month. Rising open interest coupled with positive price action could sustain further gains to, initially, the 200-day SMA in the 2.68 area.
