Union criticism of an improved contract offer at the world largest privately owned copper mine, shut down now by a strike, kept high-grade copper futures on the rise in New York on Monday. Gold advanced due to losses in the dollar, a rising crude-oil market and tensions surrounding uranium enrichment program of Iran.
