Base metals see further setbacks as investors flock to safe-haven assets. |
||
|
After a quiet start to the week, the USD Index is up nearly 0.5% this morning. The USD Index set news for the year last week, and this morning’s trade is slightly under that high-water mark. S&P 500 futures are down about 1%, but base metals are mixed. A continued flight to the USD could weigh on metals prices, as metals typically trade inversely to the USD. (10/6/2021) |
