Copper declined Thursday on worries that China is likely to try to slow down its booming economy and on weakness in the precious metals complex. Gold dipped on profit-taking, while platinum was originally boosted overnight by news that ETF Securities will launch five new physically backed exchange-traded commodities on the LSE Tuesday. Crude oil futures plunged to a one-week low Thursday as the return of a key pipeline that supplies the U.S. with Canadian crude pressured prices.
