Copper edged down on Tuesday, but a Reuters analyst is predicting it will fall to $7,845.
The three month official price for the metal was $8,420 (£5,359) on Tuesday lower than the $8,435 (£5,366) seen on Monday.
However, a Reuters technical analyst Wang Tao said the metal would fall to around $8,190 and may even fall as low as $7,845 if the market is fragile.
