SHANGHAI, Dec. 1 (SMM) -- The US dollar index overnight rebounded to above 81, but the US consumer confidence index for November rose to a 6-month high of 54.1. Meanwhile, the Chicago Purchasing Managers Index (PMI) rose to 62.5 in November from 60.6 in October, higher than the forecast of 60. The positive economic data boosted LME base metal prices.
