Copper Rises for 5th Straight Session on Signs of Demand Growth
2005-03-31 08:32 (New York)

By Jennifer Itzenson
March 31 (Bloomberg) -- Copper prices rose in New York for the
fifth session in a row on expectations that low stockpiles and
buying by China signal growing demand for the metal used in cars,
homes and appliances.
Global stockpiles at warehouses approved by the London Metal
Exchange have dropped 8.4 percent this year. Inventories monitored
by the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell 42 percent last week to
21,463 tons, the lowest in more than two months.
``Total stockpile levels are still very low considering that
the peak demand season is swinging in full gear,'' Robin Bhar, an
analyst at Standard Bank in London, said in a report.
Copper futures for May delivery rose 0.3 cent, or 0.2 percent,
to $1.495 a pound at 8:32 a.m. on the Comex division of the New
York Mercantile Exchange. A futures contract is an obligation to
buy or sell a commodity at a set price by a specific date.
