Copper slipped on Monday leading drops in industrial metals as it fell for a third day after Asian shares shrank amid speculation that the Federal Reserve may scale back its stimulus sooner than forecast. The metal for settlement in February slid 0.7% to $7,197 a metric ton following a 0.3% increase recorded earlier on the session, while it traded at $7,208.75 as of 1:23 Shanghai time.
