Copper Tops $13,000 as Trump’s Jabs at Fed, Allies Boost Metals

Copper rallied above $13,000 a ton, part of a broad-based surge in metal markets that’s being aided by a weaker dollar as investors rotate away from currencies and sovereign bonds.

The industrial metal advanced as much as 3.4% to $13,187.50 a ton on the London Metal Exchange, nearing all-time highs struck earlier this month, while nickel jumped nearly 5% and tin surged 9.7%.
