Fundamental News:
• Copper Falls as U.S. Job Gains Spur Bets on Interest-Rate Rise. Copper fell for the third time in four days after U.S. payrolls rose more than forecast, bolstering the case for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates that may slow economic growth and curb metal demand.
• Employers added 321,000 jobs in November, the highest since January 2012 and above the most optimistic projection in a Bloomberg survey of economists, government data showed today. Treasury yields rose as traders bet improvement in hiring will help assure Fed policy makers that the economy is strong enough to withstand an increase in borrowing costs next year. The U.S. is the largest consumer of copper after China.
