Copper extended a rally to an eight- week high on concern that labor unrest in Latin America will reduce production of the metal used in pipes and wires.

Workers at more than a dozen mines in Peru began their third national strike in less than 14 months yesterday. Mexico's largest mining union yesterday approved a one-hour walkout for this week. Copper jumped 28 percent in the first half, reaching a record in May, partly because of supply disruptions.

``Copper prices continue to strengthen, supported by recent supply problems,'' analysts at Barclays Capital said in a report.

Copper futures for September delivery rose 2.8 cents, or 0.7 percent, to $3.9105 a pound on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Earlier, the price reached $3.9245, the highest since May 6.
