Supported by rising demand in the domestic spot markets, copper futures rose by 0.32% to Rs 411.15 per kg today.

However, metal's weakness at the London Metal Exchange (LME) restricted the rise.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, copper for delivery in June rose by Rs 1.30, or 0.32%, to Rs 411.15 per kg, with a turnover of 292 lots.
