With movements in trade talks, traders and investors are ready to increase their risk appetite. Buyers are becoming clearer since fundamentals are in favor.

Trading tip – Copper will be seen trading in a range from 450- 470. If Copper futures break the above resistance at 466-470 than we could expect a high of 485 in upcoming weeks.

I would advise creating long positions in Copper around 456 for target of 465 in upcoming sessions. Traders with high risk appetite could extend and expect a target of 470-471.
