Copper futures finished down on Tuesday after US Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell told lawmakers at Capitol Hill the Fed is in no rush to slash interest rates any time soon. Copper prices weakened further after US President Donald Trump chose not to impose tariffs on copper imports, as he had previously threatened. However, expectations of strong fiscal stimulus from China has limited further falls in copper prices to some extent. 

Copper futures for March delivery lost $0.106 to settle at $4.6010 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange was down by 0.95 percent at $9,358 a ton.
