Copper mining companies are witnessing a rise, guided by the increase in the price of the red metal.
The three-month copper benchmark on the London Metal Exchange indicates an increase of 0.4% at $8,273 per tonne, which is bolstered by the diminishing dollar.
The depreciation of U.S.
currency renders dollar-priced commodities more affordable for those possessing other currencies.
