Oct 19 (Reuters) - Copper prices rose on Tuesday as a weaker dollar made greenback-priced metals cheaper to holders of other currencies, while fears of supply disruption from a mine in the world's No.2 producer Peru also supported the market.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange rose 1% to $10,300 a tonne by 0155 GMT, while the most-traded November copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange was almost unchanged at 75,610 yuan ($11,783.32) a tonne.
The dollar languished near the bottom of its recent range against major peers, knocked back by weak U.S. factory data and on market wagers of faster normalisation of monetary policy in other countries.
A Peruvian community will block a key mining road used by MMG's Las Bambas copper mine in protest after failed negotiations with the Andean nation's government, a community leader told Reuters on Monday. Las Bambas is the country's fourth largest copper mine.
