Copper (HGA <Cmdty> CT): U.S. home construction unexpectedly
surged in June to the second-fastest pace this year, a government
report showed. Builders started work on 1.658 million homes at an
annual pace in June, up 3 percent from the 1.610 million-unit pace
the previous month, the Commerce Department said. Last month's
rate was the fastest since homes were started at a 1.666 million-
unit pace in January. Construction is the biggest use for copper,
accounting for about 40 percent of demand, according to the Copper
Development Association, a New York industry group.

Gold (GCA <Cmdty> CT): U.S. consumer prices rose more than
expected in June as costs increased for services such as medical
care and air travel, government figures showed. Consumer prices
rose 0.2 percent after a 0.4 percent gain in May, the Labor
Department said. Analysts expected a 0.1 percent rise. Some
investors buy gold as a hedge against rising prices.
