Copper price rises on faster than expected economic growth in China

The copper price rose on Tuesday after data revealed faster than expected economic growth in China.

Chinese GDP grew by 4.5% year on year in the first three months of 2023, beating analyst expectations of 4% growth.

Copper for delivery in May on the Comex market in New York touched $4.10 per pound ($9,020 per tonne), up 1% compared to Monday’s closing.

But while consumption, services and infrastructure spending perked up, factory output has lagged.
