Copper price regained some ground on Monday after hitting a two-month low on Friday.
Copper for delivery in July rose 0.6% from Friday’s settlement price, touching $4.18 per pound ($9,196 per tonne) midday Monday on the Comex market in New York.
The metal’s price slumped on Friday, pressured by China’s plan to sell reserves, and a firm dollar buoyed by the prospect of US interest rate hikes.
