Copper, tin and brass prices firmed up at the non-ferrous metal market here today on renewed stockist buying as well as industrial offtake amidst rising trend in London Metal Exchange (LME).
The industrial metals rose at the LME sidelining Japan earthquake and fresh European debt crises.
Meanwhile, nickel fell on subdued demand from industrial users. Tin prices spurted by Rs 5 per kilo to Rs 1,590 from overnight closing level of Rs 1,585.
