  "summary": "Copper experienced a mixed performance on Friday, rising due to a weakening dollar but poised to end the week with a decline for the first time in eight weeks. London Metal Exchange inventories surged, while nearby price spreads narrowed significantly throughout the week. Benchmark three-month copper on the LME ended the session up 0.53% at $14,111.50 a metric ton, though it was down 0.30% so far this week. The most-traded copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange gained 0.36% to 107,570 yuan ($16,003.63) a ton, with a potential weekly decline of 0.07%.",
