 "Copper rises 0.8% on global cues")
Supported by a firm global trend and increased domestic demand, copper prices rose 0.81% to Rs 411.25 per kg in futures trade today.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), the June contract traded higher by Rs 3.40, or 0.81%, to Rs 411.25 per kg in 2,769 lots.
The August contract edged up by Rs 3.20, or 0.80%, to Rs 416.70 per kg in 139 lots.
Market analysts said besides increased demand from consuming industries, a firming overseas trend on hopes that an increase in May month manufacturing signalled an economic revival in the US, the world's second-biggest consumer of the metal, may boost demand, mainly influenced copper prices at futures trade here.
