Copper Price Tumbles on Strong Dollar, China Data
Copper prices dropped to around $6.60 on Monday as a strong US dollar and weaker data from China put pressure on buyers.
The decline in copper stocks, combined with contract talks at the Escondida mine in Chile, may help limit the downward trend in copper prices.
Despite gaining ground against gold (XAU) and silver (XAG), copper's price action shows signs of weakness near its 50-day average.
