— Jim Knarr (@ChartMonitor) May 9, 2024
š Todayās Chart of the Day was shared by Jim Knarr (@ChartMonitor).
- Jim points out thatĀ Copper Miners ($COPX)Ā are breaking out to all-time highs. The chart shows $COPX on a total return basis, but itās still breaking out to multi-year highs when you adjust for dividends.
- Copper Miners ($COPX) are outperforming Gold Miners ($GDX), Silver Miners ($SIL)Ā andĀ the S&P 500 year-to-date. The top five weighted stocks in this ETF include $FM, $KGH, $IVN, $TECK, and $BOL.
- This breakout also confirms the recent strength in the underlying metal. Copper remainsĀ -6.7%Ā below all-time highs, but it just had its best month in three years, and thereās not much resistance standing in its way.
The takeaway: Copper Miners ($COPX) are emerging from a three-year base and outperforming their peers. This could also be foreshadowing whatās next for Copper.

We're only 0.03% away from getting a new green tag on the 5% ZigZag chart on $SPX. What number do you think will be in that tag when it's done?

Significant trading session in #gold miners so far, with $GDX +2.66% and $GDXJ up more than 3%.
May is often a messy month for the sector. If this breakout holds true it would be a very positive development for gold bulls.
