Dr. Copper on Call for Gains

By: Mike_Paulenoff

Copper (made a new 18-month high on Friday, breaking out of a 10-month sideways bullish digestion zone that formed atop its 5-year down trendline at 2.48. Copper is poised for upside continuation to 3.00 next.

Let's notice that the strong recovery in Copper has coincided with a powerful upmove in 10-year Yield (lower chart).

Is a breakout in "Dr. Copper" -- often a thermometer for the health of the economy, as copper increases in demand with new buildings and products -- a lead indicator for both the economy and Yield?

If so, then during the next 1-3 weeks, copper should lift off into an 8% advance to $3, and will be "chased" by rising Yield, ironically also to a "3" target, at 3.00%.
