Copper's Upside Potential
Copper made a breakout of the 2023 downtrend and after the retest of the trend channel and 89 day moving average it is picking up again.
Today's PMI numbers will be valuable for copper in the next few weeks. All of the EU, UK and US manufacturing PMIs jumped way more than expected. US manufacturing PMI even past the 50 mark, meaning the economic activity in the US manufacturing sector is rising again. I expect manufacturing to make a comeback in 2024 after 2 years of slump. Latest China stimilus also has a positive affect on copper. The bad news is the copper supply is expected to rise this year.
All in all, with the recovery of manufacturing and hopefully China, incoming rate cuts might give copper the fuel it need for a surge. My main target is 4.30 and stop will be 3 days below 89 day moving average (for now).
