Some investors are also worried that prices will be pressured by rising copper supply, highlighted when Grupo Mexico's April-June data showed copper output surging 22.7% to 266,071 tons from the same 2015 period. Now investors will be looking to Wednesday’s highly-anticipated Federal Reserve policy statement for fresh guidance on the pace of interest rate hikes over the next several months.
