Copper Prices Rise for Fourth Session as Inventories Decline
2005-05-25 09:55 (New York)

By Jennifer Itzenson
May 25 (Bloomberg) -- Copper prices in New York rose for a
fourth session as inventories fell to six-week low and a report
showed U.S. durable goods orders rose last month.
Stockpiles monitored by the London Metal Exchange fell to
49,225 metric tons, the 10th straight decline and the lowest since
April 12. Inventories tracked by the Comex division of the New
York Mercantile Exchange also fell. Orders for durable goods rose
1.9 percent last month, the U.S. Commerce Department said today,
more than economists forecast in a Bloomberg survey.
``The present decline in the LME and Comex registered stocks
is supporting the copper market,'' said Daniel Vaught, an analyst
at A.G. Edwards & Sons Inc. in St. Louis. The durable goods report
and a separate report showing U.S. mortgage applications rose are
also pushing prices higher, he said.
Copper futures for July delivery rose 0.35 cents or 0.3
percent, to $1.4085 a pound at 9:51 a.m. on Comex. A futures
contract is an obligation to buy or sell a commodity at a set
price by a specific date.
