At the Multi Commodity Exchange, copper for delivery in November was up by Rs 1.35 or 0.43 per cent to Rs 313.45 per kg in a business volume of 1,263 lots.
Metal for delivery in far-month February next year too gained Rs 1.30 or 0.41 per cent to Rs 319.75 per kg in a business turnover of 16 lots.
Marketmen attributed the rise in copper futures to a firming trend in base metals at the London Metal Exchange (LME) on encouraging China Factory data for last month and rising demand from consuming industries at domestic spot markets.
