Copper Prices on the Rise

Global copper prices surged in October due to a disruption at Indonesia's Grasberg mine and increased Chinese solar demand.

The Copper Monthly Metals Index (MMI) rose by 3.7% from September to October, with Comex copper prices reaching a two-month high, exceeding the 11k per metric ton mark.

LME copper prices also increased, albeit at a slower pace than Comex prices.
