Mumbai, April 2 -- COMEX Copper futures edged up from a one week low and are steadying just above $5 per pound on Wednesday morning in Asia. Equities were largely mixed amid uncertainty about President Donald Trump's trade policies ahead of the announcement of reciprocal tariffs on Wednesday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq eventually ended the day firmly positive, jumping 150.60 points or 0.9 percent to 17,449.89. The S&P 500 also climbed 21.22 points or 0.4 percent to 5,633.07, but the narrower Dow edged down 11.80 points or less than a tenth of a percent to 41,989.96. COMEX Copper futures are currently up 0.67% at $5.06 per pound. The metal rose around 11% in March 2025. On the MCX, Copper futures are holding very close to Rs 900 per kg.
