The copper, often used as a gauge of economic health, has lost some 10% since the virus started making headlines last week.
Copper recorded an 11th consecutive day of decline, setting the record for the longest streak since 1971.
Copper is on track to mark its biggest monthly decline in the last 8 months and may set a record as the coronavirus epidemic raises concerns about a slowdown in demand from top metal users in China.
The World Health Organization (WHO) on Thursday declared the virus outbreak a global health emergency, with the death toll in China reaching 213 on Friday and the number of confirmed cases rising to 9,692.
