Copper rose the most in more than two weeks as miners prepared to strike in Chile, the world’s biggest producer.
Copper-mine workers in Chile will hold their first nationwide strike tomorrow to push for greater job security, with unions vowing to halt all mining activity. Employees from mines operated by Anglo American Plc, BHP Billiton Ltd. and state-owned Codelco will put down tools for 24 hours, Raimundo Espinoza, who heads Codelco’s union and represents workers on the company’s board, told reporters in Santiago today.
