Copper futures prices fell marginally by 0.83% today after speculators booked gains amid a weak trend overseas on demand concerns.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, copper for delivery in April eased by Rs 3.45, or 0.83% to Rs 429.50 per kg, with a business volume of 4,434 lots.
It had ended 0.60% higher at Rs 432.95 per kg in the previous session.
Similarly, the metal for delivery in June edged lower by 3.65, or 0.83% to Rs 440.25 per kg, with a trade volume of 1,076 lots.
Market analysts said apart from profit-booking by speculators, weak trend at Shanghai and US market on worries about credit conditions in China, mainly put pressure on the copper futures prices here.
