Analysts said the fall in copper prices at futures trade was mostly attributed to offloading of positions by speculators coupled with subdued spot demand.

They said, however, strength in base metals at the London Metal Exchange (LME), as sign of economic resilience in Germany and the US outweighed demand concerns from China, capped the losses.
