- Thursday, October 20, 2011, 1:40 PM Freakishly correlated until about a month ago, copper and the S&P 500 have begun to sharply diverge, with stocks in "what me worry" mode while the metal falls. The phrase "Dr. Copper" lost usefulness around the time we stopped paying attention to Elaine Garzarelli. Is copper becoming a leading indicator again? Today: JJC -4.8%, SPY +0.2%. 1 Comment [Commodities, U.S. Economy]
- Thursday, October 13, 2011, 7:00 AM China's customs bureau warns of "severe" challenges as export growth slows to 17.1% in September vs. 24.5% in August, with business to Europe particularly weak. The trade surplus declines for the 3rd straight month, falling to $14.5B from $31.5B in July. 1 Comment [Global & FX, Top Stories]
- Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 2:45 PM China reveals its copper inventories stood at 1.9M tons - roughly the amount the U.S. consumes in a year - at the end of 2010, nearly double what had been estimated, and suggesting demand for the metal there has been lower than assumed. It's a rare bit of solid data from Beijing, which usually keeps this info under wraps. 2 Comments [Global & FX, Commodities]
- 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]
- Monday, October 10, 2011, 1:19 PM China allows the biggest one-day jump in the yuan since July 2005 - perhaps a conciliatory message to the U.S., where Congress is threatening to punish Beijing over the currency. Maybe this easing of concerns over a trade war is behind today's rally (also, China is buying bank shares). Comment! [Global & FX, U.S. Economy]
- Monday, October 10, 2011, 10:02 AM Correctly calling copper "a doppelganger for whatever stock prices do," Tom McClellan suggests dropping the tired "Dr. Copper" moniker. Have a look at lumber - uncorrelated from "risk on/off," it may make a better economic indicator. Its recent move into contango suggests prices (and the economy) are headed higher soon. 9 Comments [Commodities, U.S. Economy]
- Monday, October 3, 2011, 8:56 AM Gold (+2.5%) and silver (+3.1%) have regained their footing even as global stocks continue to slide, but copper continues lower, falling below $3/lb. last night for the 1st time since mid-2010. The industrial metal is currently -2.7% at $3.07. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Wednesday, September 28, 2011, 3:07 PM Ugly chart of the day, from Doug Kass: Copper is not confirming the recent rally in stocks to the upper end of the Aug.-Sept. trading range. Unless Dec. copper can recover and hold 3.50, Kass says, then industrial metals will point much lower as the global slowdown spreads. ETFs: JJC -6.6%, IYM -3.5%. Stocks: CLF -7%, FCX -5.9%. Comment! [Commodities, U.S. Economy]
- Monday, September 26, 2011, 3:03 PM After an overnight collapse that saw its price fall about 13% (on top of last week's near 30% dive), silver returns back to unchanged. Gold and copper see similar price action, but not as wild as silver's. With this sort of volatility, another margin hike on top of Friday's is not out of the question. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Monday, September 26, 2011, 10:12 AM The powerful uptrend line from the 2008 bottom in commodities and commodity currencies have both been broken at the same time, notes Barclays technical guru Jordan Kotick. It suggests to him the post-2008 recovery is over. 4 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, September 23, 2011, 2:49 PM The CEO of the world's largest copper mining company says the freefall in copper prices may be ending. "You get the feeling it's hitting bottom...the supply and demand equation still remains tight," says Diego Hernandez of Chile's Codelco. Dr. Copper isn't cooperating just yet, down 4.5% at last check. 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
- Friday, September 23, 2011, 1:12 PM Microscopic Fed rates and opaque information out of China have combined to distort the prices of industrial metals, but fundamentals such as years of rising stock/usage ratios are finally catching up. YTD: Copper JJC -28.5%, Lead LD -25%, Aluminum JJU -14.9%, Nickel JJN -23.7%. Comment! [Commodities]
- Friday, September 23, 2011, 12:38 PM "The stock market is a discounting mechanism," says Marc Faber. He suggests the recent market action may have little to do with what's in front of our eyes - Europe - and everything to do with what's coming: "a meaningfull slowdown and disappointing news out of China." Good stuff. (video) 2 Comments [Global & FX, U.S. Economy, Quick Ideas]
- Friday, September 23, 2011, 7:10 AM Copper continues its precipitous decline, -5.9% to $3.28/lb. The metal has become financialized - subject to the whims of Chinese financing schemes as much as user demand - making the moniker "Dr. Copper" a charming throwback rather than reality. Instead of a leading indicator, its plunge is coincident confirmation of financial stress. JJC -3.5% premarket. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
- Thursday, September 22, 2011, 7:48 AM The air continues to come out of copper, down another 5.7% this morning to bring its fall since Aug. 1 to 25%. Even with the plunge, the copper ETF JJC +2.5% Y/Y. Off 4-6% yesterday, the major miners are all sharply lower premarket. RIO -6.7%, BHP -5.2%, VALE -3.6%. 1 Comment [Global & FX, Commodities]
- Wednesday, September 21, 2011, 1:01 PM It's another bad day for copper: Prices fall 2.2% to $3.73/lb, marking the low since November as the miners can't seem to escape bad news (I, II) on the production front either. Decliners: RIO -2.2%, FCX -4.1%, BHP -2.8%, FM -4.5%, SCCO -2%. 1 Comment [Commodities, On the Move]
