Base Metals - Copper prices hit but not trashed

Base metals prices were mixed, copper initially collapsing below US$3.00 per pound ($/lb.) as it was hit by a wave of profit taking, after reported stocks rose. The price has subsequently rallied and is now only off two cents/lb. at $3.01/lb. It is not clear what drove nickel, but drive it did up to $5.40/lb. The price has subsequently settled, but is still up over ten cents/lb at just over $5.25/lb. Aluminium rebounded one cent/lb. to 95.5 cents/lb.; lead was up half a cent/lb. at $1.03/lb.; but zinc lost one and a half cents/lb. to $1.385/lb.

It appears copper prices may remain very volatile.
