However, other metals traded in a narrow range in limited deals and settled around previous levels.
Traders said fall in demand from consuming industries mainly led to the fall in copper and zinc prices.
In the national capital, copper mixed scrap and zinc ingot were down by Rs 2 each to Rs 432 and Rs 113-119 per kg respectively.
Following are today's metal rates (in Rs per kg):
Zinc ingot 113-119, Nickel plate (4x4) 1,086-1,092, Gun metal scrap 227, Bell metal scrap 229, Copper mixed scrap 432, Chadri deshi 285.
