Copper and brass recover on renewed demand

Copper and brass sheet cuttings recovered marginally at the non-ferrous metal market today due to stockist buying amid renewed demand from industrial users.

While, zinc and lead eased owing to sluggish demand from alloy industries.

Copper cable scrap, copper armiture, copper billets and brass sheet cuttings inched up per kg each to Rs 455, Rs 441, Rs 483 and Rs 350, respectively.

However, lead edged down by Rs 2 per kg to Rs 170 from Wednesday's closing level of Rs 172 and zinc softened by a Re per kg to Rs 238.
