Copper trading range for the day is 459.1-472.3.
Copper prices moved lower as ultra-tight stocks were overshadowed by a contraction in China manufacturing.
LME copper stocks, excluding metal awaiting load-out, currently total a meagre 21,600 tonnes, the lowest since 2005.
China imported a record amount of refined copper last year, 3.75 million tonnes, and the country's appetite showed no signs of diminishing in January.
