Nov 2 (Reuters) - Shanghai copper on Monday hit its lowest in more than a month, while London prices fell to a level unseen in more than two weeks, as caution grew amid rising coronavirus cases and on uncertainty ahead of the U.S. presidential election this week.
The most-traded December copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange fell as much as 0.9% to 50,720 yuan ($7,579.31) a tonne, its lowest since Sept. 30.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange declined to as low as $6,672 a tonne, a level unseen since Oct. 15.
Coronavirus cases continued their grim climb in the United States on Sunday while a one-month lockdown in England could extend as the country struggled to contain a second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic.
