Copper prices eased by Rs 2 per kg at the non-ferrous metal market today owing to tepid demand from consuming industries amid weak global cues.
Traders said, besides easing demand from consuming industries, a weak trend overseas as inventories in LME warehouses jumped and the dollar steadied at higher levels, mainly weighed on copper prices.
Globally, copper for delivery in three-month delivery ended 1.21 per cent lower at USD 6,668 per tonne on the London Metal Exchange yesterday.
In the national capital, copper mixed scrap shed Rs 2 to Rs 363 per kg.
Following are today's metals' rates (in Rs per kg):
Zinc ingot Rs 110-116, Nickel plate (4x4) Rs 780-790, gun metal scrap Rs 227, Bell metal scrap Rs 229, copper mixed scrap Rs 363, chadri deshi Rs 295.
