| Copper prices fall, ending rally |
|
|
 Copper prices slid last week, retreating from the previous week's rally, after weak US Manufacturing data strengthened the dollar and signaled to traders that demand remains weak. Copper for three-month delivery on the London Metal Exchange closed at USD5,006 a ton, down from USD5,230 on June 12. "Prices were looking over-extended and we were looking for a pullback
over the summer," said an analyst at Barclays Capital. "Probably what
we are seeing today is a bit of a correction from those extremely big
gains, sparked by the data." A stronger dollar makes metals priced in
the US currency more expensive for holders of other currencies.Copper, used in power and construction, hit an eight-month high of USD5,388 a ton the previous week’s Thursday on a slew of improved economic data, but analysts say fundamentals remain weak. It has risen more than 60 percent this year in a rally sparked by increased demand from China. But this demand, which appears to have been based largely on stockpiling by the world's top copper consumer, seems to be tailing off.
