LONDON- Copper prices shot up 3% on Wednesday on relief that China's debt-burdened Evergrande would pay interest on a domestic bond, easing fears that the property giant's troubles might hit the global economy.

Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange climbed 3% to $9,245 a tonne in official trading, reversing losses from the previous session when the contract went as low as $8,810 a tonne, its weakest since Aug. 19.

An Evergrande unit said it would make a bond interest payment on Sept. 23 after private negotiations with bondholders. 

"That heartened markets for the time being and we're running into some dip buying. Consumers are probably running short of inventory, so these prices may prompt restocking," said independent consultant Robin Bhar.

"I think the consensus is that this is not China's Lehman moment. When it comes to China, everyone owns part of the problem and at the end of the day, it's all part of China plc. They're not going to let it disrupt the economy."

Risk sentiment was also supported by the People's Bank of China injecting more liquidity into the market to replace certain expiring loans. 

The most-traded October copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange closed down 0.9% at 68,780 yuan ($10,636.19) a tonne, catching up with losses in London during the previous two sessions when Chinese markets were closed for a public holiday.
