Copper prices continued higher Monday to its highest close since November 2014. Industrial metals have been on a tear with Zinc hitting a 10 year high last week. The Chinese demand and supply equation continues to buoy base metals.
Copper for September delivery closed up 1.4% at $2.9805 a pound on Comex after a near three year high of $3.0025 earlier in the session. Copper is up over 15% since the end of May, the weaker U.S. dollar is also boosted prices for transaction factors. Over the past few weeks we have seen aggressive buying and new highs in the metals, in particular base metals Zinc, Lead and Nickel.
The WSJ Dollar Index, which has a broader base the the $USDX, tracks the U.S dollar against 16 other currencies, was down 0.4% Monday.
Investors and traders have been lured into Copper as China tightens supply and demand increases from government plans such as China’s Xiongan New Economic Zone. The International Copper Study Group reported a seasonally adjusted supply surplus for May on Friday, it is future supply that investors are betting on.
China accounts for almost half of the world’s copper consumption has been reporting better than expected economic growth reports this year. While many doubt the authenticity of these reports the fact is the helped push prices up and stop losses across the metals segment.
COT Reports All Time Spec Longs Highs
What concerns the rational mind is the net bullish positions by hedge funds and other speculative investors have set new all-time highs each of the last three weeks, according to Commodity Futures Trading Commission data going back to 2006. The trade is crowded and bull traders need to be aware of liquidation, the short side mindful of the power trend. Trade with care.
Expect profit taking ahead of the Federal Reserve’s Jackson Hole conference on Friday and further evidence for economic growth and future interest-rate increases.

This is the perfect site for everyone who wishes to understand this topic.
You know a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you (not that I personally will need to…HaHa).
You definitely put a brand new spin on a subject that’s been written about for decades.
Wonderful stuff, just wonderful!
Thank you – such kind words
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my
own weblog and was wondering what all is needed to get set up?
I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I’m not very web smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

Are you writing the articles in your website yourself or you outsource them?
I am a blogger and having difficulty with content. Other bloggers told me I should
use an AI content writer, they are actually pretty good.
Here is a sample article some bloggers shared with me.
Please let me know what your opinion on it and should I go ahead and use AI – https://sites.google.com/view/best-ai-content-writing-tools/home
We source and write our own content not AI that’s kind of our point, so traders get real news and opinion 🙂 AI can give you content, but it will be the same elsewhere and often wrong – depends on your objectives really.
My partner and I stumbled over here by a different
web address and thought I might as well check things out.
I like what I see so i am just following you.
Look forward to exploring your web page repeatedly.
