Shares of Hindustan Copper rose as much as 3.6% to Rs 580.50 on Friday before paring some gains. The rally came as global copper prices edged higher, supported by a weaker US dollar, although the metal remained on track to end a seven-week winning streak amid rising inventories and narrowing nearby price spreads.
Benchmark three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange (LME) rose 0.53% to $14,111.50 a tonne, while the most-traded copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange gained 0.36% to 107,570 yuan a tonne. Despite Friday’s gains, LME copper remained down around 0.30% for the week.
