U.S. Copper and Silver Breakouts Signal Bullish Second Half

FOREX.com Market Analyst Razan Hilal outlines the breakout signals and price targets for copper and silver as 2025 unfolds.

Key Takeaways

  • U.S. copper broke a 14-year trend line and reached $5.87
  • Silver is testing resistance zones near 2012 highs
  • Upside and downside targets identified for both metals

Copper Market Outlook

Hilal highlights growing bullish momentum across copper and silver markets heading into the second half of 2025. U.S. copper has broken out of a long-term trend structure, while silver is revisiting highs not seen in over a decade. Both metals are showing signs of continued strength, supported by broader market drivers such as rising import costs and patterns forming over multiple timeframes.

Hilal also notes scenarios where short-term pullbacks could offer momentum resets, but the broader trend remains constructive for now.
