Besides, muted demand from consuming industries in the spot market, weighed on prices.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, copper for delivery in February shed Rs 5.10, or 1.13 per cent, to Rs 446.90 per kg in a business turnover of 329 lots.
On similar lines, the metal for delivery in November fell by Rs 4.95, or 1.11 per cent, to Rs 440.90 per kg in 1,869 lots.
Besides, slackened demand from consuming industries at the domestic spot market kept pressure on metal prices, they said.
Meanwhile, at the LME, copper for delivery in three-month retreated 1.23 per cent to USD 6,931 per tonne.
