Copper prices fell for the second straight session Thursday, as investors continue to wonder if an economic slowdown in China could limit demand for the industrial metal. Front-month copper for March delivery was down 1.8% at $3.0585 a pound on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. Prices have fallen 6.7% so far this year after hitting a roughly four-year high in late December, with some analysts warning that the market is still currently well supplied and demand could slow moving forward.
