U.S. gold and copper futures fell Tuesday as economic worries about credit downgrades in Europe offset optimism on a Greek rescue package.
FUNDAMENTALS
* Gold futures fell as a brief recovery in the euro ran out of steam and Moody's warned that the agency may cut its triple-A credit ratings of France, Britain and Austria.
* An official from the Shanghai Gold Exchange said it planned to launch over-the-counter gold trading and was in talks with the China Foreign Exchange Trade System to conduct these trades via the interbank market.
* Copper futures dropped after the euro trimmed gains against the dollar on waning enthusiasm over a survey showing Germany, Europe's largest economy, was holding up despite the debt crisis.
