    Major lead drop?

    I enjoy watching the metal prices on Kitcometals.com and have been pleased by the increase they have all been having, until I saw what just happened to the lead price. Can anyone explain how lead drops .31 cents that quickly? Worst price since 2009.

    I just saw that. Usually copper and other metals follow each other but I was surprised to see copper GAINED .06 at the same time. Haven't looked into it.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    All is well again. Somehow it has jumped back up and exceeded what it was at. Losing .30 cents and gaining .33 all in one afternoon. Crazy market

    I see the Nickel prices fluctuate $3.00 or $4.00 at a time.

    The market is crazy.

    Hello Cobre Collector I just looked at the kitco link you provided in the last 24 hrs all I could see was a .o3 cents per lb. drop. I guess I don't understand the chart or what I was looking at correctly. Any advice/instruction on chart reading would greatly be apprecieated. Thanks wb.

    I saw the drop this morning, too The chart is changed to reflect an increase from the opening where it had been a decrease. Not the first time. I've seen it before on KITCO.

    Yeah I wasn't too sure how the charts reflected that change but I didn't see it later either thinking that .33 drop was a glitch but I swear it was only .66 per lb this morning.
