Copper traders are believed to be quite bearish on their favoured metal due to concerns about a slowing China and troubles in Europe.

Traders surveyed by Bloomberg have said they are negative about copper, which last week dropped to a four-month low.

Raw material copper slid in price along with the economic slump in the 17-nation eurozone.

China, which accounts for about 40 percent of global copper consumption, has also been giving weak signals as it stockpiles some of the metal.
