Strait of Hormuz Disruptions Hit Industrial Metals: Copper Declines
📊 COPPER — Piyasa Yorumu
▼ down · 70%Copper prices remain under pressure amid reports of disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz negatively impacting industrial metals, even as the RSI sits at 23.4 in oversold territory. The MACD line is below the signal line and in negative territory, suggesting that short-term bearish momentum could continue. The price is trading below both the 20-day and 50-day moving averages, further weakening the technical outlook.

Overall, the downtrend is expected to persist for a few more days.

Although the MACD line remains above the signal line, momentum is weakening.
