Copper futures edge lower on weak demand

Copper futures traded down on MCX as investors and speculators stayed cautious over booking fresh positions in the industrial metal after services activity in China grew at a weaker pace last month, signaling a slowdown in the world’s second biggest economy, dimming the demand outlook for industrial metals.
The contract for June delivery was trading at Rs 406.10, down by 0.09% or Rs 0.35 from its previous closing of Rs 406.45. The open interest of the contract stood at 21437.00 lots.
The contract for August delivery was trading at Rs 409.05, down by 0.17% or Rs 0.70 from its previous closing of Rs 409.75. The open interest of the contract stood at 904.00 lots on MCX.
