I just started trading copper and I wanted to trade it the rest of the year up and down. What should I be looking for besides the dollar, chinese data, and bonds?

Hey @metahominid,

You may want to follow Peru and Chile since they produce more copper than China! Watch their currencies, the dollar, etc. Watch other commodities too.

Good luck!

Alright yeah, I knew South America was an influence because of the number of mines. Volatility has seem to died down. I bought a contract at 2.0795 last week.

Seasonals are bearish until middle of November, COT data is mildly bullish.

Copper is overbought, and looks vulnerable to a hawkish dialogue tonight if it occurs.

Best regards, Myrrdin

Is there a weekly copper inventory report similar to the weekly crude oil inventory reports in the US that spike volatility at the time of their release?
