give the dog a bath, page-8

Jury's out about this so call dog currently there's a change in sentiment in global markets. Copper downturn being the forerunner; it is seen as a barometer as it's usage is diverse.

In today's Australian (hard copy)"Copper price slump sets off alarm bells" mentions 'copper has careened into a bear market catching commodities traders off guard and triggering alarm bells across financial markets'.

As previously muted on these threads thermal coal will still be in demand in a slowing global economy. So I suspect watch this space.
