As quoted in the market news:
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange, untraded at the close, was last bid at $8,125 a metric tonne, reversing small gains in the previous session when prices rebounded after hitting their lowest in two weeks at $8,105 a tonne.
Copper has drifted in a range of about $8,100-$8,400 a tonne for the past month as investors refocused on underlying demand amid sluggish global growth after the excitement of central bank stimulus measures that sent prices up around 10 percent.
