Aug 4 (Reuters) - Copper prices rose on Wednesday in London as the dollar was pinned near recent lows, with traders focused on U.S. jobs data to offer cues on the rates outlook.

Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange rose 0.5% to $9,590 a tonne by 0259 GMT, reversing losses from the previous session.

The dollar index has now slipped more than 1% from a 15-week peak it struck a fortnight ago.

A weak dollar makes greenback-priced metals cheaper to holders of other currencies.

The most-traded September copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell 1% to 70,220 yuan a tonne, tracking overnight losses in London.
