LONDON, March 10 (Reuters) - Copper prices rose on Wednesday as traders hoped a pullback from 10-year highs had run its course and the metal’s spectacular rally would resume.
Strong demand from China and expectations of years-long supply shortages encouraged a wave of speculative buying that drove prices to $9,617 on Feb. 25, their highest since 2011.
The rally was punctured by fears that a speculative bubble was forming and a spasm of caution on wider markets caused by a spike in U.S. bond yields, but prices have begun to recover from a low of $8,570 last week.
