Base metals down on concerns over Chinese property sector

摘要

The prices of base metals traded on a mixed note during the week. The bellwether copper remained weak on Friday (July 18) as prices sank to a two-week low, depressed by concerns about the Chinese property sector and news of increased production. In the official rings, copper was down 0.6 percent at $7,025 a tonne, having touched a session low of $7,005.25, its weakest since July 2.
