Copper ended sharply higher Wednesday, moving back up against record highs, as supply-side constraints continued to draw in strong investment demand flows, even as the dollar rose and rate hike concerns in top-consumer China mounted. COMEX copper for March delivery climbed 5.10 cents, or nearly 1.3 percent, to finish at $4.1005 per lb, near its own record at $4.1315 per lb.
That economic focus only added to copper's bullish tone. Among other metals, aluminium ended up $70 at $2,375 a tonne.
