New Delhi, Mar 28 (PTI) Copper futures on Friday depreciated by 0.56 per cent to Rs 896.55 per kilogram as participants reduced their positions amid muted demand in the domestic market.
On the Multi Commodity Exchange, copper contracts for April delivery eased by Rs 5.05 or 0.56 per cent to Rs 896.55 per kilogram in a business turnover of 8,290 lots.
