Copper prices rose as a weaker dollar and robust new loans data from China reinforced expectations of healthy demand during the seasonally strong second quarter.
Chinese banks extended 1.69 trillion yuan in net new yuan loans in March, compared with expectations of 1.2 trillion yuan.
China imported 391,000 tonnes of unwrought copper last month, up 25.7 percent from 311,000 tonnes in February and 26.5 percent higher than March 2018.
