Three-month copper rose as much as 1.1 percent to $8,383.75 a metric ton on the London Metal Exchange and traded at $8,380.50 in Tokyo. The metal has dropped 1.5 percent this last week and touched $8,262.50 Thursday, the lowest since March 7, after reports showing manufacturing shrank in China, the world's largest copper user.

Gavin Wendt, founder and senior resource analyst at Mine Life Pty in Sydney, recently said, "Copper sentiment is a little poor at present, as markets and traders have over-reacted to Chinese economic news this week. There are serious supply side issues and demand remains robust, despite the pessimism in speculative circles."
