Analysts attributed the fall in copper futures to a weak global trend where it dropped to almost one-week low on speculation that the US Federal Reserve will commit to reducing stimulus next week.

Meanwhile, copper fell 0.50% to trade at 7,138 dollar a tonne on the London Metal Exchange, the lowest since September 6, while at Shanghai Futures Exchange, metal for delivery in December declined 0.7% to 51,700 yuan (USD 8,450) a tonne.
