New York, November 28^th  (TradersHuddle.com) – Copper prices were posting the biggest intra-day gain in the past one month on hopes that Europe is working actively to resolve its ongoing debt crisis and on a report on record U.S. holiday retail sales, which lead for the broader commodities complex to rally. Gold prices also were jumping the most in two weeks.

U.S. consumers helped boost sentiment, after sales in the Thanksgiving weekend surged 16% to a new record, while speculation that the International Monetary Fund was working on a rescue plan worth up to 600 billion euros for Italy also improved investor sentiment, despite the IMF denying the report.
