An ISM report indicating growth in the manufacturing sector is at its slowest pace in 3 years sparked weakness in the dollar. Gold, regarded as a hedge against inflation, rallied, despite a dip in crude oil prices. December copper contract took a plunge after investors liquidated their long positions in the metal and the LME saw a large rise in warehouse stocks.
