US copper hits to 6-week low on weak growth outlook .
The price of copper tumbled to a six-week low in New
York futures trade on Thursday as liquidation pressures
mounted in the face of a stronger dollar and global
economic growth concerns.
Copper for September delivery settled down 8.05 cents or
2.2 percent at $3.5770 per lb on the the New York Mercantile
Exchange's COMEX division. Earlier, it bottomed at $3.5550
which marked its lowest level since June 13.
Technical support in September contract pegged at its
200-day moving average at around $3.53, and then at $3.50.
Copper weakens on global economic concerns after
German data showed business confidence declined to
its lowest level in almost three years.
A steeper-than-expected drop in U.S. existing home
sales in June adds to the red metal's downside pressures
as concerns grow about the impact of the U.S. housing
slump on economic growth.
The dollar rose to a two-week high against the euro,
denting copper's appeal as an alternative investment.
London Metal Exchange inventories jumped 1,425 tonnes
to 130,875 tonnes on Thursday.
COMEX copper stocks fell by 156 short tons to 7,167
short tons on Wednesday.
LME copper for delivery in three-months ended down $180
at $7,900 a tonne from Wednesday's closing level.
Earlier, it hit a 6-week low at $7,887.
