Copper Futures FAQs
1. What are Copper Futures?
Copper futures are exchange-listed contracts to trade the future price of copper. The standard contract, HG, trades on COMEX, part of CME Group. It's physically deliverable, settling against the copper price at expiry unless the position is closed or rolled beforehand
2. What's the difference between HG and MHG Copper Futures?
HG is the standard COMEX copper contract. MHG, the Micro contract, tracks the same copper price at a fraction of the size, giving the same market exposure per contract at a lower margin requirement. Both settle against the same underlying price and trade the same COMEX hours
3. What moves Copper Futures prices?
Copper futures respond mainly to global manufacturing and construction activity, since copper is used widely in wiring, machinery and infrastructure. Demand from China, the largest copper consumer, has an outsized effect on price. Supply disruptions at major mines and inventory data also move the market
4. What are the margin requirements to trade Copper Futures?
Margin on HG and MHG is set by the exchange and varies with volatility, particularly around major economic data and periods of market stress. Brokers can require additional margin above the exchange minimum. KGI Crusoe has no account minimum; capital required depends on the contract and quantity traded. Current figures are listed in the contract specifications
5. What are the risks of trading Copper Futures?
Copper futures are leveraged, so a small price move can produce a large move against your margin, and losses can exceed the amount deposited. HG and MHG are physically deliverable, so positions held into the delivery period carry delivery obligations most traders avoid by closing or rolling beforehand. Prices can move sharply on Chinese economic data given copper's demand concentration there
