Copper and Global Stock Markets Rollover

Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2012 May 26, 2012 - 05:18 AM GMT

Following the May 9th Market Minute titled "Downward trend starts", global markets are continuing to rollover. Copper, often referred to as a bellwether indicator on the broader economy, is also declining. The peak in copper prices was in early 2011 and it has dropped steadily over the past year.


The Dow Jones World Stock Index is closely following the trend of the red metal. Global markets have also crested in the first half of 2011.

Copper prices are forming a multi-year reversal pattern. This Head-and-Shoulders formation suggests that the metal will move below $3.25 in Q3 and eventually reach a downside target of $2.25.

Bottom line: Copper prices still need to decline below $3.25 before the reversal pattern is complete. Nevertheless, the probability of lower numbers over the summer is high. Given that metal prices have already dropped over a dollar in the last year, this reflection on the world economy implies slower growth in the months ahead.

More research on commodities and global markets will be in the upcoming June newsletter.
