Copper in London May Decline for a Second Day on China, Europe

Jan. 18 （Bloomberg） -- Copper in London may decline for a second day on concerns about a slowdown in demand as China takes steps to cool its economy and Europe’s debt crisis persists.

The metal for three-month delivery on the London Metal Exchange fell as much as 0.3 percent to $9,600 a metric ton, and traded at $9,625 by 9:06 a.m. Singapore time. April-delivery copper on the Shanghai Futures Exchange was little changed at 71,380 yuan a ton.
