Oct 16 (Reuters) - Copper prices rose on Friday as hopes of strong demand in top metals consumer China and risks of supply disruptions outweighed concerns that a resurgence in COVID-19 cases in Europe may weaken the global economic recovery momentum.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange was up 0.4% at $6,774 a tonne by 0121 GMT, extending gains into a third session.
The most-traded November copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange climbed 0.8% to 51,630 yuan a tonne.
Most other base metals also rose.
