While the Nasdaq edged down 16.69 points or 0.1 percent to 16,332.56, the Dow crept up 31.99 points or 0.1 percent to 38,884.26 and the S&P 500 inched up 6.96 points or 0.1 percent to 5,187.70. Nevertheless, continued fall in LME copper inventories is limiting downside in the metal. Currently, Copper futures are quoting at $4.57 per pound, down 0.76% on the day.
