Copper futures dropped for the first time in three sessions on concern that demand will ebb in China, the world’s top user of industrial metals.
In October, the nation’s imports of all goods rose 4.6 percent, trailing estimates by analysts for a 5 percent increase. Copper has dropped 11 percent this year, partly on concern that China’s economic growth will falter.
