In restricted activity, copper futures prices recovered by 0.34% to Rs 425 per kg today as speculators enlarged their positions amid a slightly better trend at the London Metal Exchange (LME).
Firm trends at the spot markets on the back of pick-up in industrial demand also influenced copper futures prices here.
