Until entering the European plate, the short-term copper price rebounded at the beginning of the session at $5920 / tonne, then quickly fell back, down $5893 / tonne. As of 17: 10, Lun Copper closed down 0.14 percent at $5900 a tonne, with the dollar index at 97.779 and US crude oil at $56.27 a barrel.
