LONDON (Scrap Monster): London Metal Exchange (LME) copper edged up on Thursday from two-week lows hit in the previous session, supported by traders betting on a fourth-quarter recovery in Chinese demand, though an upcoming holiday and simmering concerns over Europe's debt crisis capped gains.

Copper product makers in top metals consumer China, where demand is expected to improve modestly in the fourth quarter, are getting their books in order before a week-long holiday beginning on Monday that is likely to pare volume and direction from the market.

LME copper advanced slightly by 0.52% to $8173 a metric ton on Thursday form $8130 previously.
