- Friday, April 13, 2012, 10:53 AM A day after rallying strongly, many commodity names are selling off as a result of top customer China's soft GDP report. Copper (CU -2.4%), silver (SLVP -1.8%), and gold (PSAU -1.6%) miners are all getting hit, as are steelmakers (SLX -1.9%) and some aluminum names (AA -2.2%, NOR -3.7%). 2 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, April 12, 2012, 2:49 PM It's a good day to own commodity stocks. Alcoa's (AA +2.5%) strong Q1 and China optimism is not only lifting aluminum names, but also makers of steel (SLX +4.7%), copper (CU +4.1%), silver (SLVP +2.7%), and gold (PSAU +3.8%), among other things. 2 Comments [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, April 10, 2012, 12:36 PM Crude oil touches a 2-month low of $100.83/barrel as it follows risk markets downward. USO -1%, BNO -1.7%. Another economically sensitive commodity, copper falls back to mid-January levels at $3.65/lb. JJC -1.8%. Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) gives up big early 2012 gains to slip into the red on the year. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Tuesday, November 1, 2011, 9:47 AM Usually a safe haven on days like this, even gold isn't escaping the general panic as the rising dollar sends futures -2.1% to $1688.90/oz. However, silver is taking a much greater hit, sinking 6.1% to $32.244. The metal is "very much as an industrial metal right now," says one trader. Copper -4.4% to $3.473 and Platinum -2.7% to 1563.50. 2 Comments [On the Move, Top Stories, Commodities]
- Thursday, October 27, 2011, 11:05 AM Copper is the greenest of the green in the commodity sector today, higher by $0.18/lb. to $3.67 and bringing its 5 session gain to 22%! So the good doctor was predicting recession last Friday and boom times today? Time to take back that license. JJC +4.6%. 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 10:27 AM Check out the remarkable moves in currencies (aussie +300 pips in 12 hours!) and key commodities starting right about the time China opened for business last night This rally may have little to do with Europe and everything to do with China showing signs of opening the spigots again. Chinese shares +3%. RE ETF: TAO +5.1%. Comment! [Global & FX, On the Move, Top Stories]
- Friday, July 1, 2011, 2:23 PM Dr. Copper +4% today, adding more fuel to the positive economic spin emanating after today's stronger-than-expected ISM report. Word that China may be holding interest rates steady is helping support prices. Copper futures for September delivery stand at $4.30/pound, up from $4.09 earlier this week. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, May 13, 2011, 8:16 AM Only 24 hours ago threatening to take out lows going back to November, copper continues a sharp reversal, back over $4.0/lb. Copper traded in Shanghai is in backwardation, indicating at least near term supply tightening. Could Freeport-McMoRan (FCX) bounce hard off the $48 level again? 1 Comment [Commodities, Quick Ideas, On the Move]
