Oct 23 (Reuters) - London copper prices fell on Friday as a stronger U.S. dollar made greenback-priced metals more expensive for buyers using other currencies.
Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange fell 0.3% to $6,902 a tonne by 0124 GMT.
But the contract has risen 2.4% so far this week, underpinned by hopes for U.S. fiscal stimulus and supply disruptions in Chile.
The most-traded November copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange declined 0.6% to 52,070 yuan ($7,792.46) a tonne.
The dollar edged higher early in the Asia session as traders awaited the final U.S. presidential debate.
