Copper futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange hit their highest level in over a month on Thursday on strong technical support and an influx of Chinese buyers. Chinese January imports of refined copper and copper alloy were up 70% from the same month a year ago. All the precious metals settled down as well as energy stocks. Only natural gas bucked the downtrend and advanced. Arabica coffee gained, while raw sugar futures reached six-week highs.
