Copper futures end lower on Chinese demand worries
Dec-14-2018

Copper futures end marginally lower on Thursday due to persistent worries about Chinese demand and global growth. Copper prices were also pressured by a firmer dollar after the European Central Bank trimmed its growth and inflation projections for next year and said the balance of risk was tilted towards the downside, weakening the euro against the dollar.

Copper futures for March delivery fell 0.1 percent to settle at $2.767 a pound, on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange ended up 0.2 percent at $6,155 a tonne.
