RE:"multiyear highs in copper and gold due to drought?"

The CRB is heavily weighted in the grains. So any drought affecting grains is likely to have a magnified effect on the CRB.
Gold is a multi-faceted commodity but "multi-year" highs in gold really aren't historically high by any means. Likely no drought related anyway. Even in 1987 when the market crashed gold was over 500/oz.
Copper is a base metal more indicative of certain types of industrial production. Maybe has something to do with electronics or plumbing at this time.
