NEW DELHI (Scrap Register): India's major brass and copper scrap prices advanced on Thursday, while copper futures prices at India's Multi Commodity Exchange edged up as workers agreed to resume work at Escondida, the world's top copper mine in Chile.

The most active April copper contract on the India's Multi Commodity Exchange settled slightly up by 0.51 percent to Rs. 383.85 per kilogram on Thursday from previous close of Rs. 381.90 per kilogram. Copper Futures at MCX touched an intra-day high of Rs. 384.40 per kilogram and an intra-day low of Rs. 379.40 per kilogram during Thursday.
