Copper prices lower for second day

Copper prices lower for second day

A big reason why is that China wants to put a lid on commodities inflation. China National Radio reported that the country will tighten controls on raw materials and that's taken the air out if it.

Technically, you hate to see this kind of fake breakout and it lines up with all the uncertainty in oil, AUD/USD, CAD/JPY and another of other charts.

I can't really find much to worry about in markets but there are too many bad charts to ignore.
