Precious metals settled lower, despite the euro hovering in record territory and the weakness of the U.S. dollar which gave a lift to gold. Copper prices edged higher in London and New York, as decreasing inventories held by the LME and worker strikes at mines around the world outweighed concerns about potential oversupply in the Chinese market. Oil prices advanced on an International Energy Agency report forecasting an increase in energy consumption in 2008.
