When Will the Commodities Bear Market Turn Around?
Jeff Currie, a veteran of the commodity for 30 years, believes that the current copper price has a range of 8500 at the bottom and 9500 at the top. Whether it can break through this range depends crucially on china.
Currie said in mid-May that copper was the most attractive trade he had seen in his 30-year career, but three and a half months later, the copper price on the London Metal Exchange fell below $9,000 per ton. Currie believes that the current decline in copper prices is mainly due to the simultaneous increase in copper inventories in Asia and copper exports from China.
