New Delhi: Copper futures on Friday fell Rs4.30 to Rs722.85 per kilogram as participants cut their positions amid a muted demand in the domestic market. On the Multi Commodity Exchange (MCX), copper contracts for March delivery eased Rs4.30 or 0.59 per cent to Rs722.85 per kg in a business turnover of 4,090 lots. Analysts said trimming of positions by speculators amid a muted demand in the spot market mainly dragged down copper prices in the futures trade.
