Copper rally halted as euro fears weigh

It was another day of heavier-than-normal volume in the red metal, as investors pared some long positions that were set earlier this week on upbeat reports from China and a bullish trend in London Metal Exchange (LME) inventories. Those items spurred a sense of optimism about demand prospects this year from the world's top metals consumer.
