Copper prices eased further by Rs 2 per kg at the non-ferrous metals market today due to reduced offtake by consuming industries.
However, other base metals after moving in a narrow range in limited deals settled around the previous level.
Traders said reduced demand from consuming industries and reports of a weak global trend mainly kept copper prices low.
In the national capital, copper mixed scrap shed Rs 2 at Rs 341 per kg.
Following are today's metal rates (in Rs per kg):
Zinc ingot Rs 96-102, Nickel plate (4x4) Rs 825-830, Gun metal scrap Rs 227, Bell metal scrap Rs 229, Copper mixed scrap Rs 341, Chadri deshi Rs 295.
