U.S. inflation, Fed meeting in focus Copper surges as Chinese inflation improves 

The yellow metal was nursing a steep loss from last week, as concerns over sticky inflation and higher-for-longer U.S. rates pushed the to a near six-month high. The greenback saw some profit taking on Monday.

Focus is now squarely on U.S. data for August, due on Wednesday. The reading is expected to have increased from the prior month, giving the Federal Reserve more impetus to keep interest rates higher for longer.
