Copper slips marginally on low demand

Copper futures fell 0.15 per cent to Rs 441.65 per kg in futures trade on Tuesday after speculators trimmed positions in tandem with a weak trend overseas.

At the Multi Commodity Exchange, copper for delivery in November fell 65 paise, or 0.15 per cent, to Rs 441.65 per kg in a business turnover of 6,518 lots.

Traders said, offloading of positions by speculators amid weak global cues led to fall in copper prices in futures trade.
