LONDON: Copper market remained steady on Friday after heavy losses, while tin touched a fresh 2-1/2 year low on doubts about weak demand.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange ended up 0.09 percent at $5,600 a ton, paring losses of 1.4 percent from the previous session when it hit its lowest in a week.
Prices have stabilised in a range after last month’s five-and-a-half-year low of $5,339.50 a ton.
European stocks and the euro fell as euro zone meetings on the Greek debt crisis threatened to give rise to confusion rather than clarity.
