Reuters reported that copper rebounded on Friday to its highest price in nearly four months. Three factors assisted in giving the red metal a boost, including the possibility of weak US jobs data increasing chances of the Fed announcing a round of QE3; China approving $157 billion worth of infrastructure spending and the ECB’s announcement of a potentially unlimited bond buying plan.
