Copper on MCX settled up 0.15% at 445.35 with support from shortages created by tumbling inventories on the London Metal Exchange countering concern over growth and demand because of the U.S.-China trade dispute.
Benchmark copper on the LME ended unchanged at $6,160 a tonne, having touched a session high of $6,240. Inventories of copper in LME-approved warehouses, at 143,125 tonnes, are down more than 60 percent since the 2018 peak near 390,000 tonnes. The problem is compounded by cancelled warrants — metal earmarked for delivery — at nearly 54 percent of total stocks and a large holding of copper warrants between 50 and 79 percent.
