Tackle Today: Why are Metals Getting Torched?

Tackle Today Why are Metals Getting Torched

«Hint: it rhymes with mobile broclown.»

Traders,

For months, the inflation trade has been humming along. Buying metal and oil stocks was an excellent play for the first four months of the year. But this month’s sudden rug-pull has the trade unwinding in a big way. Aluminum? Slammed. Copper? Destroyed. Silver? Poleaxed.

As for the sectors related to these commodities? Well, it’s ugly (see XME). To what do we owe this great horror? Slowing global GDP is undoubtedly one of the top culprits. The meteoric rise in interest rates is having the desired effect. The fact that China is shut down isn’t helping matters either. It’s the largest exporting nation and the second-largest global economy. And its zero-COVID policy is tanking its economic output. The chart below shows worldwide manufacturing PMI rolling into contraction territory.

Glass half full: this will help curb inflation and get the price stability train back on track.

Glass half empty: the hawkish Fed is driving the global economy into a ditch.

According to Investopedia, “the Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) is an index of the prevailing direction of economic trends in the manufacturing and service sectors.” A reading below 50 indicates a contraction.
