Improved consumer confidence and manufacturing data have caused traders to conclude demand for copper will rise. Copper prices are very sensitive to economic data as consumption varies with the state of the economy. Things are improving in China, the world's number one consumer, as well as the in the U.S., the world's number two consumer. Prospects in India show increasing demand for copper as well.

Copper prices were recently pushed down by worries over the European debt crisis, suggesting that austerity measures there would shake up the world economies sufficiently to reduce demand for copper. As that news grows older, and a bailout package seems more certain, attention is turned to improving economic data.

Trading in commodities involves substantial risk and past performance is no guarantee of future profits. Zenith does not sell advice nor does it manage discretionary accounts other than its own. Readers should be aware of the vested interest that all traders/brokers have in encouraging other traders to make the same transactions. No one should follow investment advice blindly. This web site should be used only as a "sounding board" for confirming one's own opinion. Any suggested order placements should be reviewed and reset to fit current market conditions by individual traders.
Recommendations may include trades which have already been made on the same or a previous day, otherwise the issue is placed on a "watch list." Suggested trades are based upon an approximate maximum $15,000 capitalization requirement per trade, depending upon initial contract margin requirements. Zenith's actual trades may be larger. $22 per round turn for futures is deducted from profit figures. Commodity option trade recommendations are not tracked, but performance should parallel that of the underlying commodity's.
