Copper Prediction for Monday: Support and Resistance Levels
- July contract support: Rs 1,310, Friday’s low; below it, Rs 1,300 is the psychological floor.
- July contract resistance: Rs 1,326.50 first, then Rs 1,335.
- August contract support: Rs 1,325.85, Friday’s low on that series.
- August contract resistance: Rs 1,340, then Rs 1,350 in line with the September contract.

Even with equities falling for five straight sessions, the red metal closed the week on a firm note, suggesting real demand from grid, energy transition and electronics buyers rather than purely speculative flows.

What Supports the Copper Prediction for Monday
- Structural demand: Electrification, data centre build-outs and renewable capacity keep global copper consumption on a rising path through 2026.
- Weak rupee: Around 96.66 per dollar, the rupee lifts imported metal costs and MCX prices in local terms.
- Curve structure: August and September trading above July signals buyers are willing to pay up for forward delivery.
- Equity divergence: Nifty Metal slipped 0.55% to 12,401.55 on Friday, so a firm copper open on Monday could spark catch-up buying in metal equities.
How to Trade Around the Copper Prediction for Monday
Fresh longs belong on the August contract above Rs 1,326 with stops under Rs 1,318. Equity traders can pair the commodity view with the broader tape: the Nifty 50 closed at 23,767.45 after defending 23,600, the Sensex ended at 76,059.77, and Bank Nifty bucked the trend at 56,693.50.
