copper demand, page-24

"...Copper for August delivery on the Shanghai Futures Exchange gained 1.3 percent to 68,610 yuan ($10,584) a ton today.

High prices will last ?a substantial amount of years? on demand from China, Diego Hernandez, Codelco?s chief executive officer, said June 8. ..."

It has been encouraging to see copper and DML holding their prices well during the past few weeks volatility, even if some of us want more stock at bargain prices :)
