 "Copper rises by 0.3% on spot demand")
Copper rose by 0.32% to Rs 373.60 per kg in futures trade today as speculators created fresh positions.

The metal for delivery in current month traded higher by Rs 1.05, or 0.29%, to Rs 367.70 per kg in 1,331 lots.
However, metal's weakness at the London Metal Exchange (LME) amid continued concerns that demand from infrastructure and construction will weaken in China, the world's biggest consumer, limited the gains of the metal.
