RE: Today's drop is pure manipulation...Seemed to be just gold that benefitted today. Even oil stocks didn't do much, considering the jump in price. Copper stocks did nothing, even though it is rising. Most of them even went down. It used to be for the first part of the year that all commodities would rise and fall together (as stupid as that is). Now they are scattered and out of gas.
I think it will take next quarters numbers to make people realize that some commodity classes, like moly and potash, have not suffered at all, and are still soaring on the world markets at high prices.
