Copper futures settled higher on Thursday on improved demand following some supply disruptions in the market. But, economic weakness in the world’s top metal consumer China and strong US dollar have limited further gains in copper prices.
Copper futures for December delivery gained $0.0025 to settle at $3.6405 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange was up by 0.06 percent at $8,147 a ton.
