US copper futures ended on Thursday with sharp losses, halting a three-day rally that saw prices jump more than 33 percent, as the market's focus shifted back to two overriding bearish influences - the dollar and demand.
Copper for December delivery slipped 19.75 cents, or nearly 9.5 percent, to settle at $1.8905 a lb on the New York Mercantile Exchange's COMEX division. COMEX estimated final futures volume at 19,210 lots, down from the 20,607 lots recorded on Wednesday.
