RE:Progress on negotiations? I'd guess Unc is closer to the mark ... the gold and copper charts plus a kick in the rear for the whole equity market from our friendly FED. Plus a US election year. Plus maybe some late arrivals thinking there may be a premium coming as you say. And broad inflation is trickling down across the primary commodities, copper seems a little late to the party.
There is a simple fix to all the ETG issues at OT. Show me some real money!
