As quoted in the market news:
The economically sensitive red metal closed below $7,000 per tonne for a second day in a row and stood near its lowest level in 14 months, as investors priced in the likelihood of a Greek default and the drumbeat of another global recession grew louder.
But the selling slowed and prices clawed back from their worst levels following a speech by Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, which sapped safe-haven dollar bets by offering the firmest indication yet that the Fed may take further steps to prevent a weakening U.S. economy from stumbling back into
recession.
