418 views
Commodities regained their footing partly supported by a weaker dollar. Weather disruptions continued to affect corn, which hit a 30-month high, while rice gained on speculation about U.S. farmers planting more profitable grains instead. Copper rallied to a record on expectations of demand outpacing supply due to the economic recovery and oil gained on the IEA's forecast for stronger demand in 2011.
