Oil, Gold, Copper at record highs today

Vital Trivia points out that US dollar price of West Texas Intermediate if expressed in UK pounds eg $65.72 and 1.73515 dollars to the pound results in a value of £37.88 a barrel. Probably the highest ever and a rise in the Pounds Sterling price of 44%. This has gone unremarked in the MSM.

Meanwhile Gold reached a 25-year high of $579 an ounce today. Base metals prices remained firm on the back of a new high for copper which reached $5,370 a tonne.
