High grade copper HG looking bullsihCopper traded on the COMEX looks bullish. Currently at 3.20 per pound, the chart shows an Eve and Adam bottom forming between 2015 and now. The expected target of this move would be 4.70 which would put the market five cents above its old high set in Feb 2011 of 4.65. From 4.65 I would expect the market to revisit the 3.30-3.60 region to make a strong bottom for a longer term ascent. Looking back further on the copper chart, there is a longer term Adam and Eve bottom forming starting in Dec 2008 to present. The target would be 7.365 based off of this longer term pattern. If copper were to trade up to 4.70 area and come back down to 3.50 area, it would also present an opportunity for an ascending triangle to form with the same target, 7.365, as the Adam and Eve pattern. With a weakening dollar, look to copper for guidance on inflation going forward.

Over the first 10 months of this year, Chinese imports were up 40% compared with 2019, with 5.6 million tonnes of refined copper compared with 4 million tonnes in 2019. China is the world's largest importer of copper, and data suggests an acceleration of the economic recovery in Q4. ECONOMIC RESULTS - Last week, China's industrial production was +6.9% in October. In the United States, retail sales were down to +0.2% in October from +1.2% in September, and US industrial production was down to +1.1% in October. - On Monday, manufacturing PMI in the Euro zone were at 53.6 in November compared with 54.8 in October, and composite Markit PMI at 45.1 in November compared with 50 in October, a sign of the slowdown in the recovery in the Euro zone.

THE DOLLAR The DXY index representing the Dollar against a range of foreign currencies closed last week down to 92.392, and the trend is still bearish. Joe Biden, who will be invested on January 20, spoke of a $3 trillion support plan. Forex traders are anticipating an increase in the money supply. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has called on the FED to return unused funds from emergency aid programs for the coronavirus crisis. The FED has decided to do so, although it considers this decision premature. Last week, this did not cause much movement in the currency market, which remained relatively calm. A low dollar is generally favorable to the dollar-denominated commodity markets.

Copper smashing new highs and it isn't even 2021 On the back of growing demand out of China (50% of global demand), Asia recovery and general optimism from Vaccine news, Copper has reached record levels that haven't been seen since June 2018. Last night's U.S. manufacturing in November saw the quickest pickup since September 2014, driving expectations of higher base metals demand in the US for next year. Low prices have kept new copper mines from developing, and a shortage of scrap has also helped drive up pricing. At $3.00 per pound, copper becomes an attractive investment for new miners, so no doubt new copper mining projects will be speed up. Nevertheless, new mines take a while and increasing demand will continue to put prices under pressure for the immediate future.
