Copper prices fell in London on the back of reports that China may cut its demand for the metal and that the US economy is improving, Reuters reported. Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange fell to $7,278.50 a metric ton, a decline of $30.57.
In New York, copper prices for June delivery hit $3.333 a pound, an increase of $0.01, Dow Jones Newswires reported.
Concern that China, the world’s largest copper consumer, may tighten its monetary policy and lower demand for the metal is weighing heavily on current copper prices.
