Bob Iaccino analyzes the latest price action in Copper futures, noting a drop of over 1% following an initial overnight spike. Iaccino discusses how tighter Fed policy and the prospect of a December rate hike are limiting investor appetite for metals, as the market digests recent hawkish Fed minutes.
