Gold Prices Fall Amid Rate Jitters; Copper Steady as China Stimulus Eyed 
Just like Italy, Spain in the verge of falling into political chaos as the Spanish parliament prepares for a no-confidence vote on the government of Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, this week on Friday. On Thursday, Spanish parliament would debate whether Prime Minister Rajoy should be replaced by Pedro Sanchez, the leader of the main opposition, which has called the vote.
Earlier this week, the Italian government collapsed after President Sergio Mattarella, who was appointed by the previous pro-EU government refused to accept a euro-skeptic candidate as the country’s finance minister forwarded by the newly formed coalition government of the two largest party.
Spanish crisis was triggered by a court ruling on a corruption case involving members of the ruling Popular Party. Dozens of people with links to the ruling center-right PP, including a former treasurer, were convicted last week of a range of crimes relating to the use of an illegal slush fund that helped finance party election campaigns between 1999 and 2005.
Political analysts believe that the Spanish crisis unlikely to turn as ugly as the Italian, as the parliament is likely to find a solution to replace Rajoy and prevent an early election. Some analysts believe that the no-confidence vote would fail to topple Rajoy.
