For instance, in 2022, copper prices on the MCX fell sharply from Rs 880 in March to Rs 600 by July. Similarly, in May 2024, prices saw another significant correction, plummeting from Rs 950 to Rs 770 by July's end. These corrections closely align with weak economic data from China, particularly its manufacturing sector.
