Copper prices fell for the second straight session Thursday, with some investors still nervous about the impact of recent trade tensions on global growth. Copper for December delivery dropped 0.7% to $2.7170 a pound on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices are about 18% below their June four-year high, hurt by worries that a trade fight between the U.S. and China will weaken the Chinese economy and lower consumption of metals used in construction and manufacturing.
