Copper weekly
With 2 trading days left of the month, copper is $3.10, and that should be enough to ensure an Oct' close >$3.00.

Summary
Suffice to add, broader price action is very choppy. Gold is far stronger than Silver, although Copper is stronger than Gold.
Indirectly, the ongoing upward trend in copper from late 2016 bodes that Gold and Silver will eventually catch up, as the trio trade broadly together across the years...
Gold, Silver, Copper, monthly, 10yr

net weekly gains of $29.70 (2.3%) to $1304.60, and $0.62 (3.7%) to

Gold weekly
Silver weekly
Summary
Suffice to add... the metals are leaning upward, with gold notably stronger than silver.
Copper remains a powerfully bullish indirect signal. If copper can keep clawing upward, its near impossible not to see Gold, Silver, and the related miners eventually follow.
Key thresholds: Gold $1400s, Silver $22s, Copper $3.00 (achieved).
If gold and silver can meet those thresholds, it will have very bullish mid/long term implications for the related mining stocks.

Silver weekly
Summary
Gold: a fourth consecutive net weekly decline. Underlying MACD (blue bar histogram) cycle has turned fractionally negative for the first time since late July. First soft support is at $1220/10. Core rising trend from Dec'2015 currently offers support in the $1180s.
Silver: a moderate net weekly gain, and notably still lagging gold and copper. Underlying MACD cycle remains fractionally positive. Things really only turn bullish if the Feb/April highs are broken back above, and that is at least 2-3 months away.

*it remains the case that copper is leading gold and silver. The August copper settlement >$3.00 was very bullish, and bodes that Gold and Silver will eventually catch up.
Key thresholds: Gold $1400, Silver $22s, and Copper $3.00 (achieved).
