Copper futures traded lower by Rs 1.40 at Rs 441.15 per kg on Wednesday as investors reduced their bets, taking weak cues from the global market.

Traders said apart from subdued trend overseas, weak demand at spot market mainly pushed down copper prices.

Similarly, copper contracts for November delivery traded down by Rs 1.30, or 0.29 per cent, to Rs 445.65 per kg in a business turnover of 250 lots.
