Copper is extending decline to its lowest level in over a month amid concerns of low demand in the near term. LME Copper inventories climbed sharply yesterday to its highest level in three and a half months. The stockpiles soared 1525 tonnes to 125325 tonnes in the previous session, its highest level since end Feb this year. COMEX copper slumped over 2% on Tuesday to quote at $4.44 per pound. Sharp upside in dollar is also keeping the red metal under immense pressure. Traders reassessed US interest rate cut expectations after a firm jobs report and pulled Copper down. Meanwhile, European stocks were subdued on Tuesday as investor focus shifted to Wednesday's U.S. consumer price data and the Federal Reserve interest-rate decision. German DAX was marginally lower and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 dropped half a percent while France's CAC 40 traded flat with a positive bias. Asian stocks ended mostly lower on Tuesday as gains by far-right in voting for the European Parliament added uncertainty to EU's political landscape and investors awaited key U.S. inflation data and the outcome of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting.
