Copper Analysis 2012-09-17

I suspect the recent run up in commodities pricing is due to the Fed's announcement of more quantitative easing. Many investors move into hard assets like gold, silver and copper as a hedge against a drop in the value of the US $. I'm probably completely wrong, but that's what I think has happened.

Probably as good an explanation as any.
