WTI Quick Summary This page is a light, at-a-glance read on the latest moves. As you review the charts, focus on just two things: what has changed and why it matters. When you read the tone of price action alongside the supply–demand current, the market’s tension usually reveals itself. Short-term swings can widen on external events (policy, weather, etc.).

Copper Investment Chart Overview
China’s Manufacturing Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) is a monthly indicator showing whether factory activity in China is improving or weakening. It is calculated from surveys of more than 700 factories across the country on changes in orders, production, inventories, and employment, and summarized into a single figure. A reading above 50 signals expansion, below 50 signals slowdown, and a result higher than market expectations is generally viewed as a positive sign for China’s economy and the yuan.
When copper is actually traded at Yangshan Port in Shanghai, China, this figure shows how much more expensive or cheaper it is than the international benchmark price. A high value is generally seen as a sign of strong Chinese copper demand, while a low or negative value is taken to indicate weak demand.
