Copper prices fell by 0.38% to Rs 367.50 per kg in futures trade today as speculators booking profits amidst weak global cues.
At the Multi Commodity Exchange, copper for delivery in April fell by Rs 1.40, or 0.38%, to Rs 370.20 per kg in a business turnover of 319 lots.
Similarly, the metal for delivery in February was down by Rs 1.35, or 0.37%, to Rs 367.50 per kg in 364 lots.
Analysts attributed the fall in copper futures to profit-booking by speculators and a weak global trend.
Moreover, subdued demand in the spot markets also put pressure on the prices of the metal, they said.
