HANOI, April 20 (Reuters) - Copper prices rose on Tuesday as a weaker dollar made greenback-priced metals cheaper and more attractive to holders of other currencies.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange rose 0.1% to $9,382 a tonne by 0153 GMT, while the most-traded June copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange advanced 0.7% to 69,200 yuan ($10,636.34) a tonne.
The dollar wallowed near a six-week low against its peers on Tuesday as U.S. bond yields have hovered below a 14-month peak touched last month.
