A combination of factors including a strike threat in Peru and a depletion of copper inventories pushed up copper futures on Wednesday. Gold futures ended near steady after twisting and turning in a narrow range as a recent consolidation trend continued. Silver, platinum and palladium all posted inside sessions, in which the highs and lows were contained within the trading bands on the previous day.
