Copper Futures: Extra losses looks likely

In light of preliminary data from CME Group for Copper futures markets, traders scaled back their open interest positions for the second day in a row on Friday, this time by around 2.5K contracts. On the other hand, volume went down by more than 64K contracts, clinching the second straight build.
