How Friday's Broader Session Unfolded

Nifty Auto fell 1.07 percent and Nifty Metal fell 0.98 percent, while Nifty FMCG was almost flat, down 0.01 percent, and Nifty PSU Bank fell 0.51 percent. India VIX, the market's fear gauge, fell 5.05 percent to 15.78 from 16.62, after trading between 15.30 and 16.88 during the day. The Nifty 50 closed at 25,144.30 on Friday, down 0.61 percent from Thursday's close of 25,299.35. It opened at 25,209.85, touched a high of 25,246.35, fell to 25,054.40 and finished about 90 points above the low.

Nifty Next 50 fell 0.83 percent and the Nifty 500 fell 0.55 percent, while Nifty Midcap 50 was almost flat, down 0.04 percent, so mid-caps held up better than the large-cap benchmark. In the options market, the Nifty put-call ratio was approximately 0.83, with call open interest highest at the 25,500 strike and put open interest highest at 25,000, for the 17 November expiry. The trigger for Friday's moves was not independently confirmed.

Placed against that backdrop, the copper prediction for Monday reads Friday's move in the context of a broader market that closed lower.

Analyst View for Monday

Kunal Singla suggests that copper needs a recovery toward 1,328.20, the previous settlement, to improve the tone, with 1,313.00 the first support.

Ankit Jaiswal flags that a move below 1,313, the low, would extend the fall, while 1,330.45, the open, and 1,331.50, the high, are the upper levels to clear

Both analysts stress that the copper prediction for Monday is a view built on levels and data, not a forecast of returns.

A fair reading of this copper prediction for Monday is that Friday's data sets the context, while Monday's first hour decides how much of it carries forward.

Why This Is Written for Monday

This copper prediction for Monday is written on Friday, 13 November 2026, after the close, using today's closing data, for the next regular trading session on Monday, 16 November 2026. NSE and BSE traded as normal today, Saturday and Sunday are non-trading days, and Monday is a regular session with no exchange holiday.

Because the equity market is shut for the day, the copper prediction for Monday relies on Friday's close rather than any live price.

MCX contracts were still trading when the data was pulled at 3:39 PM IST and keep trading into the evening, so prices at the time you read this can differ from the figures above. The levels use the 30 November 2026 futures contract.
