That’s kept industrial metals relatively subdued to kick off the week, with copper sitting just shy of $12,900 a ton and similarly small moves in other base metals. Gold and silver are a little weaker, though with moves nowhere close to the volatility of recent weeks. Gold is sitting around $5,000/oz and silver about $77/oz.
