Copper rose the most in a week as U.S. stocks advanced, boosting demand for commodities.
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index climbed as much as 1 percent as improved demand for Portuguese and Polish bonds tempered speculation that Europe’s debt crisis will trigger another recession. Copper has jumped 22 percent since July 1 as inventories dropped. The S&P 500 has gained about 7 percent in the same period.
