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