LME Copper and the Eurozone

How can what happens in the Euro "zone" affect what happens to the copper price? Well, on Friday 29 June  2012, it did just that - with the biggest daily rise posted since April - up 2.2% on the 3 month contract at around half seven AM (GMT) . The traded price was $7,545 per tonne.

Copper trades on the Shanghai (SHFE), LME and COMEX exchanges. (COMEX also offers trading on e-Mini copper futures). In India, copper trades on the NMCE and the MCX.
