Comex Copper Futures jumped to 2-years high, lifted by a rally of Yuan and the concerns about the risks of widening supply disruption.

In fact, the USD/CNH retreated from 7.190 in May and broke below the 2019 low at 6.670, recording a 2-year low level. China's GDP 3Q rose 4.9% on year (vs +5.5% expected), while September Industrial production grew 6.9% on year (vs +5.8% expected).
