摘要

THE locked doors of a public library in West Norwood, a drab part of south London, are an unlikely economic indicator. But a plaintive note explaining the closure-thieves have stripped the roof of its copper cladding, letting in rain on the books below-hints at profound changes to the global economy. And copper is the metal most intimately affected.Police in London note a close correlation between thefts like the one in West Norwood and global commodities markets. Around the world, copper crimes have soared along with its price. Filched cables have reportedly caused train delays and stalled repairs to telecoms networks. Heating boilers, pipes and air-conditioners have been ransacked. Criminals are clearly sensitive to the gyrations of the global economy. Copper is reckoned to go one better: it earned its moniker of "Dr Copper" for its supposed ability as an economic forecaster. The metal's price movements are widely believed to prefigure shifts in the world economy.
