Copper futures settled higher on Monday after US President Donald Trump said he was holding off a planned military strike on Iran at the request of Gulf states, fuelling optimism that negotiations could restart. Meanwhile, a weak US dollar made copper cheaper for international buyers using foreign currencies.
