NEW YORK (AP) - Soft U.S. housing and durable-goods data sent high-grade copper futures lower in New York on Thursday.
Also contributing to the softer tone are prospects that the strike at Chile's Escondida mine may be settled in the not-too-distant future, even though no talks are going on, traders and analysts said.
The September copper contract fell 3.65 cents to settle at $3.4285 per pound. December copper lost 4.85 cents to $3.4190.
