Doesn't this suggest that copper prices may be denominated in US$ but they are not determiined by US demand ? If the US$ falls, the us$ price of base metals goes UP. This seems important when considering what happens if/when the Chinese currency is allowed to float higher. Perhaps the US$ price of copper will become higher still.
