As quoted in the market news:
More recent ‘rallies’ have been slower, more cautious, and most significantly, have failed to breach $15 per lb. Despite prices recovering some ground in recent weeks, after dipping to a deep summer lull in August, they remain a long way from their 2008 levels of close to $50 per lb.
