Copper futures settled down on Thursday as investors awaited US inflation data for clues into the Federal Reserve's policy outlook ahead of its meeting next week. Firm American currency against its major peers overseas also weighed on copper prices. However, some falls were limited by expectations that US President Donald Trump will move ahead with tariffs on primary copper forms by the end of next year.
Copper futures for March delivery fell $0.0155 to settle at $5.3735 a pound on the Comex metals division of New York Mercantile Exchange. Copper on the London Metal Exchange was down by 0.33% at $11,450 a ton.
