The price of copper on the London Metal Exchange fell 0.7% to $13,935 a tonne, falling below $14,000 for the first time since September. According to Bloomberg, the fall continues for the second day in a row amid the initial results of the midterm elections in the United States. Market participants are avoiding risks in anticipation of the voting results, for fear of increased regulation of the economy if the Democrats win, and the further dynamics of metal prices will depend on the state of the American stock market.
