About XCU/USD
Copper is treated as a proxy for global industrial demand, which is why it correlates more closely with Chinese manufacturing data than with the US calendar that drives most Forex pairs.
The contract is quoted per pound. Because a standard lot covers 25,000 pounds, a one-cent move is $250 per lot — a scale that catches out traders sizing from Forex habits.
XCU/USD sits in the commodities group on our board. A standard contract is 25,000 pounds, which puts the value of a single pip at $2.50. A full-lot position moves through a meaningful amount of account equity in an ordinary session, so size the trade against the instrument’s daily range rather than against the margin requirement.

XCU/USD FAQ
Where does the XCU/USD price on this page come from?
We do not show a XCU/USD price: there is no licensed data source for this asset class on the site yet, so the quote block says so instead of showing a number. It is for information only — use your broker's own prices before placing any trade.
What is a typical XCU/USD spread?
Spreads are set by each broker and vary by account type and time of day: they are tightest during the London and New York sessions and widen sharply around major data releases and in the thin hours after the New York close. Compare the live spread on each broker's own platform before you trade.
How much is one pip worth on XCU/USD?
On a standard contract of 25,000 pounds, one pip is worth $2.50, because XCU/USD is quoted in US dollars. Scale that down proportionally for mini and micro lots — a 0.01 lot position moves at one hundredth of that figure.
When can I trade XCU/USD?
Sun 23:00 – Fri 21:00 GMT. Liquidity is not evenly distributed across those hours: expect the tightest spreads and the largest ranges when the primary session for this instrument overlaps with London or New York.
What does the overnight swap cost on XCU/USD?
Swap rates are set by each broker and change with policy rates, so we do not publish a figure. Most brokers apply a triple charge on Wednesdays to cover the weekend; positive rates are credited and negative rates are debited. Check the contract specification on your broker's platform.
