trade on Monday after aproposed $700 billion financial rescue
package was rejected by U.S.lawmakers.
The House of Representatives rejected by a vote of 228-205 a
WallStreet bailout bill that would have authorized the Treasury
Department to spend up to $700 billion to purchase toxic
mortgage-backed bonds from banks in an effort to jump-
start stalledcapital markets.
Industrial metals were slammed following the decision.

closed down $335 at $6,440 per tonne. After-hours, the metal

Copper, used in construction, has fallen more than 25 percent from
a record high of $8,940 on July 2.

as foreign exchange investors expressed concerns about further
instability in the global banking system following bank bailouts in
Europe and the United States.
