LME Copper: Copper jumped to a record high on Tuesday and pushed other base metals to close to highs of several years, helped by dollar weakness triggering fund buying. Three-month copper closed at $3,270 per ton, compared to Monday night trading in London The closing price rose by 25 U.S. dollars, but the profit-taking price that emerged late in the session was detached from the day's high above USD 3,290. Earlier copper rose to USD 3,300 in the electronic trading system, setting a new record high of 3,280 since January 1989.
