Base metals expected trade on choppy:
``Base metals are expected to trade on choppy tracking mixed fundamentals. Copper prices slumped to their lowest levels in two weeks on Monday, weighed down by a combination of US dollar strength and growing concerns that China will take further steps to tighten monetary policy,`` said SMC in a report.
Base metal prices remain erratic, with the lack of interest in the market seeing the metals approach something of a Catch 22 situation.
