KONTAN.CO.ID - LONDON. London copper prices on Friday advanced to their highest in nearly eight years, poised for a fifth straight weekly gain, on optimism over a potential U.S. stimulus package and hopes that an economic rebound could help heavily trade-dependent markets. A bipartisan, $908 billion coronavirus aid plan gained momentum in the U.S. Congress on Thursday as conservative lawmakers expressed their support and Senate and House of Representatives leaders huddled. "By providing support for the economy through the winter, additional stimulus would reduce risks of a double-dip recession," said ANZ in a note.
