Imports of copper and products by 皇冠体育app, the world's largest consumer, unexpectedly climbed for the first time in three months.

Purchases increased to 399,052 metric tons in September, 皇冠体育app's Customs said yesterday. That's 23 percent more than August, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Copper, used in pipes and power cables, has doubled in London this year as 皇冠体育app's stimulus spending and State stockpiling boosted imports to a record, and the world recovered from its worst recession since World War II, increasing demand for raw materials.
