LONDON (Scrap Monster): London Metal Exchange (LME) copper fell for a fourth straight session on Wednesday as worries about the global economy and a bleak demand outlook offset hopes for pro-growth policies from top metals consumer China.

LME aluminium dropped to a one month low, weighed down by the cautious mood and after top U.S. aluminium producer Alcoa Inc cut its global demand growth forecast this year due to the slowdown in China.

Zinc and lead prices also touched one month lows on Wednesday. LME nickel touched its weakest for three weeks and tin fell to its cheapest for a week on Wednesday.
