BASE METAL WRAP: Copper advanced in
London as U.S. manufacturing expanded at the quickest clip in three years and
construction spending rebounded, signaling increased demand.
ENERGY WRAP: Natural gas prices
dropped on Tuesday after weather forecasting models called for falling
temperatures across the U.S., which should cut into the need for air
conditioning and thus reduce demand for the commodity at the nation's thermal
power plants. Oil prices dropped on
Tuesday due to mounting concerns that global supply is far outreaching demand,
while a stronger U.S. dollar also bruised the commodity.
PRECIOUS METAL WRAP: Gold futures extended
losses on Tuesday, slumping to more than two month lows as the broadly stronger
dollar dampened investor demand for the precious metal.
