Lately
Everything reported this fortnight postdates the latest reading: two unions struck Antofagasta's Centinela mine in Chile and reached a preliminary deal, International Resources Holding paid $620 million for 51% of Mopani in Zambia, and Mercuria advanced $250 million against Congolese copper. None of it accounts for the climb on the chart.
