Copper back in bear terrain
Copper futures fell during evening trade in the domestic market on Friday as investors and speculators exited their positions in the industrial metal after US dollar strengthened against a basket of other leading currencies.
The dollar rose as speculation of a December US Fed interest rate hike continued to rise, thus eroding demand for base metals and other commodities. At the MCX, copper futures for November 2016 contract is trading at Rs 399.35 per kg, down by 0.77 per cent, after opening at Rs 401.60, against a previous close of Rs 402.45. It touched the intra-day low of Rs 398.25.
