Oct 20 (Reuters) - Copper prices fell on Tuesday as rising coronavirus cases in Europe and doubts about a U.S. stimulus deal fuelled concerns over a sustained global economic recovery.

Three-month copper on the London Metal Exchange declined 0.4% to $6,752.50 a tonne by 0235 GMT, while the most-traded November copper contract on the Shanghai Futures Exchange dipped 0.1% to 51,260 yuan ($7,664.59) a tonne.

Surging daily coronavirus infections in Europe ignited concerns about more severe lockdowns. Parts of the United Kingdom were put into lockdown and France imposed curfews.

U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi stated a Tuesday deadline in order to push through an agreement on a coronavirus relief package before the election.
