The strenghtening of the U.S. dollar, especially against the euro currency, has really changed the tone to the metals markets. It was more commodity fund liquidation after traders ran into the market on Tuesday. They all started unwinding their positions on Thursday and it continued on Friday. Also, technically oriented selling sent copper futures lower.
