There is an increase in prices on the copper market. By 5.08 GMT, the value of a pound of this metal increased on the Comex exchange to $ 4.186, or by 0.93%. Last Friday, trading in London ended with a rise in the price of a ton of copper to $ 9,037, or by 1.61%. A ton of aluminum rose in price to 2546 dollars and 50 cents. At the same time, a ton of zinc fell to 2928 dollars and 50 cents. Copper market participants are monitoring the situation in Chile, as it may negatively affect the supply of metal. Strikes are continuing at some of the country's copper mines. Protest actions in Peru prevent the supply of copper from the Las Bambas enterprise. The weakening of the US currency also supports the prices of copper and other commodities. A decrease in its exchange rate makes the purchase of copper more profitable for those who use other currencies in calculations. The US dollar index fell by 0.2% on Monday morning to the level of 93.31 points. The drop in the index occurs as part of a correction after its significant growth last Friday.
