BEIJING, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Prices of copper rebounded on Wednesday due to a weaker U.S. dollar and on hopes of renewed demand from China, with the possibility the world's top metal consumer could issue new stimulus to boost its economy.

Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange was up 0.6% to $8,068 per metric ton by 0158 GMT, reversing a 1% loss in the previous session.

Dovish comments from Fed officials led investors to believe there could be a pause to the central bank's interest rate hike, sending the dollar lower. A weaker dollar makes it cheaper for non-dollar holders to buy the greenback-priced commodity.

Policymakers in China are weighing the issuance of at least 1 trillion yuan ($137 billion) of additional sovereign debt for spending on infrastructure such as water conservancy projects, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday.

But also weighing on industrial metals demand perspective was the housing crisis in the world's second largest economy. China's largest private property developer Country Garden warned on Tuesday about its inability to meet offshore debt obligations.

The most-traded November copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange slipped 0.2% to 66,800 yuan ($9,160.60) per ton.

LME aluminium gained 0.5 at $2,224 a ton, tin added 1% to $24,950, zinc moved up 0.6% to $2,486.50, lead nudged up 0.1% to $2,104.50, while nickel was down 0.1% to $18,660.

SHFE aluminium climbed 0.2% to 19,140 yuan a ton, zinc slid 0.5% to 21,355 yuan, lead shed 0.6% to 16,390 yuan, nickel fell 1.3% to 150,720 yuan, and tin dipped 0.3% at 211,920 yuan.
