I think we are going to break that 4.50 soon.
"The most actively traded contract, for March delivery, was recently up 5.25 cents, or 1.2%, at $4.4255 a pound on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract's intraday high of $4.4380 puts it just 1.3% from the metal's record intraday peak of $4.4980, hit earlier this month.
