Copper (Cu) surged ~4% during our trading session following tariff commentary from you know where and power outages in Chile! SFR surrendered most of its early advance to limp to a +0.6% higher close; it felt like investors were happy to take profit as the producer moved towards $11, &/or they didn’t believe the industrial metal would hold onto its Trump-inspired gains. We continue to target new recent highs by SFR and Cu, but it’s a move we would consider fading. Overnight, the Cu price did surrender much of its tariff-inspired advance to close up 1.1%. Similarly, copper ETFs eked out a small +0.7% gain – SFR traders called it correct!
- We have been targeting new highs for Cu in the coming months(s), and we’re not far from that—MM is long SFR in its Active Growth Portfolio.
