Shanghai copper rises on China demand outlook, LME copper slips

摘要

Shanghai copper edged higher on Thursday on upbeat outlook for demand in top metals consumer China, but heightened Sino-U.S. tensions and caution ahead of the European Central Bank (ECB) policy meeting kept trading subdued. The most-traded October copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange extended overnight gains to finish the morning up 0.3% at 52,040 yuan ($7,610.30) a tonne.
