    Copper futures fell Monday at the New York Mercantile Exchange amid follow-through weakness from Friday and another rise in exchange-held stocks. A technical-based selling pressured prices after the metal failed to advance on Friday following some economic and demand news. Gold and silver prices settled down but the prospects for gold for 2007 are that demand should consolidate and the market will firm up gradually over the year. Oil, natural gas and heating oil also dipped.
