I chimed in on the capriciousness of copper in the late spring (Mercenary Musing, May 28, 2018). Since then, copper prices hit a 3.5 year high at $3.29/lb in early June but then lagged over the summer months. Weakness continues unabated with Friday's close at $2.86 equating to a 13% loss from its ephemeral high in June: The downtick has occurred despite strong fundamentals: ?...Read More

And many analysts would have one believe that it's the only fact that matters right now or that it's of major importance. But just like focusing on one tree can make one miss the entire forest behind it, the above could make the entire precious metals outlook appear different than it really is.
