Copper cracks

As the bankers keep assuring the world that all is well–why are government bond yields nil to negative and central banks buying up dodgy debts all over the world then?–anyway, as the bankers push the ‘America is a self-sustaining engine of global growth’ meme, Dr. Copper appears to be cracking under the weight of weak demand. Today moving below $2.50 a pound, as it did last entering the 2009 recession, secular support lies some 40% lower in the $1.50/pound range.
