Copper prices went up for the first time in five sessions on February 6 due to the efforts of China to stabilize its markets. The other reasons included a weaker dollar and a drop in LME inventories.
Copper for March delivery rose to US$3.78 a pound on the Comex market in New York, rising by 0.3% from Monday's closing.
The slightly lower US dollar made dollar-denominated metals more attractive to buyers using other currencies. The upcoming Lunar New Year holiday limits China's near-term demand.
