Commodities
Copper rose above $US9000 a tonne for the first time since June, as reported, fuelled by optimism that China’s reopening will spur demand in the world’s top consumer.
The key industrial metal has bounced back following a 14 per cent decline in 2022, when tough coronavirus restrictions hampered the Chinese economy. The country’s shift away from COVID Zero policies has sparked a rebound, while expectations for less aggressive rate hikes by the Federal Reserve have added support.
