Copper futures have shown resilience despite weaker-than-expected U.S. housing starts. The market appears focused on supply-side constraints and potential infrastructure stimulus packages in emerging economies. Stunningly beautiful, the park is defined by steep mountain ranges, including the Wrangell, the St. Elias, and the Chugach, and it contains the second-tallest mountain in North America, St. Elias. Want to see glaciers? The park's Malaspina Glacier is bigger than the state of Rhode Island. There are tidewater glaciers at its southern tip and an active volcano at Mount Wrangell, which still occasionally vents steam. Dall sheep roam the mountainous areas and there are black and brown bears throughout. On the Copper River, wild salmon runs make for some of the best fishing in the United States. Copper prices jumped this week as investors latched onto hopes for Federal Reserve rate cuts, a softer US dollar, and tightening global supplies. The latest CFTC report showed net long positions in copper futures rising 12% week-over-week, suggesting funds are growing more bullish on the metal. This positioning could amplify price moves should macroeconomic data surprise to the upside.
