Report summary
After consolidating within a US$10,000 to US$10,600/t range through much of April, copper prices faltered alongside the other base metals to end the month 8% below its US$10,580/t peak at the start of the month. Growing concerns over global demand prospects were intensified by the deteriorating picture in China, while a resurgent US dollar and rising exchange inventories ex-China triggered a shift in sentiment and a correction in prices.
