Copper......
Copper prices finally bounced on Tuesday and settled at $ 6767 per
tonne, up $ 90 per tonne. Investor sentiment brightened Tuesday after
the People's Bank of China said interbank liquidity risk is largely
under control and volatility is temporary. Chinese markets were
suffering from liquidity crisis that was softening the metals.
China's
money markets have been plagued by a cash shortage in recent weeks,
making life tough for corporate borrowers and bringing the closely
associated bond market to a virtual standstill. The cash squeeze has
added to jitters about economic growth in China, which accounts for
around 40% of global demand for copper.

records for its month-over-month increase, while durable goods orders
expanded ahead of expectations. New homes sales, meanwhile, rose to
their highest level in nearly five years in May.
