The base metal prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME) mostly closed higher on Friday.
Copper prices climbed after a report showed the U.S. was showing the fastest employment growth since 1999, supporting the outlook that the demand for metals would increase.
The U.S. unemployment rate edged down to a six-year low of 5.8 percent from 5.9 the previous month, the country's Labor Department said Friday.
