The yellow metal had a strong run-up over the past week, also benefiting from some safe haven demand as traders grew more uncertain over the U.S. economic outlook.<\/p>\n

Copper weakens on economic uncertainty\u00a0<\/h2>\n

Among industrial metals, copper prices fell on Wednesday, unwinding some gains seen this week as the weak U.S. data fueled some concerns over slowing economic activity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
