Buoyed by a firm trend overseas and pick-up in domestic demand, copper prices today rose by 0.30% in futures trade.
At the MCX, copper for delivery in June rose by Rs 1.25, or 0.30%, to Rs 419.45 per kg, with a turnover of 28,780 lots.

Copper rose by 1.4% to $7,615 a tonne, the highest price since May 30, on the London Metal Exchange.
Market analysts attributed the rise in copper futures to a firming trend at the LME after pro-bailout parties won in Greek elections, easing concerns that the country would leave the euro.
