Copper touches multi-week highs as dollar softens
Copper prices in Shanghai and London touched multi-week highs on Tuesday, thanks to a weaker dollar, which made greenback-prices metals more affordable to holders of other currencies. On the Shanghai Futures Exchange, the most-traded September copper contract rose as much as 3.1% to 72,740 yuan a tonne, its highest since June 3, before dropping to settle at 71,770 yuan a tonne, but up 1.7%.
