In the court of The Copper King!
Copper, one of the economic measures of a growing economy, is down -27% since March 3, 2022 as recession looks more likely.
Let’s compare copper with another famous asset, Bitcoin. Bitcoin, a cryptocurrency, is down 70% since November 9, 2021.
As I discussed yesterday, The Fed’s five-year forward breakeven inflation rate has plunged to its lowest levels under Biden as the global economy is slowing.
Notice that copper prices fit pretty well with The Fed’s 5-year breakeven inflation rate.
It looks like The Fed is killing-off the economy in their quest to tame inflation.
The Biden economy doesn’t hurt so good. It hurts bad!
