US copper futures ended down on Monday, but bounced from their lows as chart-based buying near key technical support levels helped offset earlier losses tied to concerns about the strength of the economic recovery, analysts said. Copper for September delivery ended down 4.30 cents at $2.2625 a lb on the New York Mercantile Exchange's COMEX division.
Ranged from $2.3110 to $2.2055, the benchmark contract's lowest level since June 24. COMEX estimated futures volume at a thinly traded 12,803 lots by 1 pm EDT (1700 GMT). Final volume on Thursday at 17,670 lots.
