Chart of the Day
Today’s chart of the day was shared on Twitter by Real Vision Research (@RVAnalysis). It’s a chart showing the bearish head and shoulders pattern that’s forming on the chart of Copper Futures. Copper is often referred to as “Doc Copper” because it’s said to have a Ph.D. in economics due to its ability to predict booms and busts in the global economy. If the price falls below the pink ‘neckline’ on this chart, it would suggest further downside is likely. They add that weakness from the Aussie Dollar would put pressure on Copper as these two global risk assets are positively correlated. It’s important to keep an eye on this chart right now as continued weakness from Copper would be negative for global markets.
