The metal for delivery in far-month February gained 30 paise, or 0.08 per cent, to Rs 370.85 per kg in business turnover of three lots.
Marketmen attributed the rise in copper futures to a firming trend at domestic spot markets on the back of pick up in demand from consuming industries.
Furthermore, a better trend at the London Metal Exchange (LME) amid signs that supply is tightening and demand is improving, supported the upside in copper futures.
