Copper rose in the Asian session as markets digested US midterm results. Ole
Hansen, head of commodities strategy at Saxo Bank, said investors are balancing
copper's supportive long-term fundamentals against election-driven
cross-currents. He warned political and regulatory scrutiny of AI and
data-center investment could intensify and weigh on future demand. Hansen said
the long-term outlook remains constructive but the vote may trigger an extended
consolidation as traders reassess tariff risk, inventory flows and US demand
prospects.
