Monday, June 3, 8:05 AM Beijing returns to metals. Maybe taking advantage of tumbling prices, or maybe showing confidence about the future, China's State Reserves Bureau has purchased base metals on the international market for the first time since the global financial crisis. The agency bought about 30K tons of nickel (JJN) - about one-sixth of LME stockpiles - according to sources, and has been making inquiries about copper (JJC). Other ETFs of note: LD, JJT. 3 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX]
Friday, November 16, 2012, 9:32 AM Industrial metals prices are set to rally into the middle of 2013, says Westpac's Justin Smirk, who has the hottest hand in forecasting of late. He's keeping it simple: Easy money in the U.S. and Europe will combine with a rebounding Chinese economy. Copper, zinc, nickel, and aluminum are all headed higher. Comment! [Commodities]
Wednesday, February 1, 2012, 3:42 PM Industrial metals enjoyed January's risk rally, with the basket of futures trading on the LME rising 10.9%, led by tin (JJT), up 26.5%. Looking to sink below $3/lb. 3-4 months ago, copper (JJC) has rallied all the way back to $3.84, and resurfaced bullish talk that there's just not enough of the metal being mined. 1 Comment [Commodities]
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]
Monday, August 8, 2011, 1:11 PM Commodity prices get slammed as economic fears intensify with some metals breaking through what is seen as important technical levels. Any current projections for commodity prices now need to be wadded up and be given a fresh macro look. Leading the downward spiral: Steel SLZ -7.4%, Copper JJC -7%, Tin JJT -6%. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
Tuesday, July 5, 2011, 11:43 AM Goldman, JPMorgan and other securities firms are snapping up warehouse operators to take advantage of the big profit opportunities in holding metals. Warehousers collect a holding fee and can charge a premium on large corporate orders, but critics worry firms will exploit their trading knowledge. 9 Comments [Financials, Commodities]
Monday, June 13, 2011, 11:30 AM There's one commodity we have plenty of: nickel, reversing its rally on the biggest glut in four years. Prices could drop 12% to $20K/ton by year's end, and $15K is "entirely possible." Norilsk Nickel (NILSY.PK -0.9%) says that means its profits will be little changed this year. ETF: JJN -1.7%. Comment! [Commodities, On the Move]
Tuesday, February 22, 2011, 11:21 AM Gold and oil catch bids, but traders are using the events in Libya as an excuse to sell commodity markets, many of which have had remarkable runs. The grains and cotton are particularly hard hit. CORN -3.6%. JJG -3.0%. BAL -4.1%. JJC -1.8%. Comment! [Global & FX]
Thursday, February 3, 2011, 8:22 AM Companies worried about rising commodity prices are stockpiling everything from rubber tires to fabric purchases, but are they insulating themselves from sticker shock or just making the problem worse? (see also) 7 Comments [Global & FX]
Thursday, January 27, 2011, 10:09 AM Unconcerned that China and India are tightening monetary policy, Jim Rogers sees commodities as a win/win investment. “If the world economy gets better, commodities are going to make a fortune. If the world economy does not get better, commodities are the place to be because they are going to print more money." 4 Comments [Global & FX]
Thursday, January 20, 2011, 12:38 PM The FTSE 100 -1.82% is the developed world's worst performing market today as worries about a crackdown on growth in China sink commodity prices. With its heavy weighting of resource stocks, the FTSE is "just an option on global growth." (RIO) -3.43%. (BHP) -3.02%. (TUWOY.PK) -4.01%. (XSRAY.PK) -5.45%. Comment! [Global & FX]
Tuesday, January 18, 2011, 10:16 AM Macroman notes that Shanghai has fallen below its 200 day moving average and considers the worrying implications for commodities, whose fortunes have tracked Chinese shares. A divergence in performance, starting in mid-November, has widened significantly. Comment! [Global & FX]
Thursday, January 6, 2011, 10:14 AM It's not just food prices that have completed their round trip from the GFC. The Journal of Commerce index of industrial materials rises to within 1 point of its July 2008 all-time high. 3 Comments [Global & FX]
Wednesday, December 29, 2010, 2:46 PM Commodity bulls who base their bets on a perpetually fast-growing, commodity-guzzling China may want to reconsider. China's years of double-digit growth are behind it, and what growth there is will be less commodity intensive as the country relies more on consumption than investment. 5 Comments [Global & FX]
Friday, December 10, 2010, 8:19 AM In echoes of 2008, commodities, many at multi-year or all time highs, appear to be an accepted asset class. "We are seeing investors flock to commodity resources," notes an analyst, "that pattern will continue regardless if prices move higher or lower." If they move lower? 6 Comments [Global & FX]
Thursday, August 21, 2008, 5:56 AM A 30% drop in nickel prices this year has hurt nickel-producers, leading Xstrata (XSRAF.PK) to close facilities that are no longer profitable and BHP Billiton (BHP) to cut production. (Nickel ETF: JJN) Comment!
