During Asian trading, three-month LME copper slipped 0.2% to $14,442/tonne.
Inflation and prospects for tighter monetary policy weighed on sentiment.
Markets have grown more certain the Fed will hold rates this week, while rising

adding further pressure on copper. Potential U.S. tariffs on refined copper
could provide limited support to prices.
