I’ve posted the copper chart a few times, most recently after identifying a bullish wedge coming up against the support offered by the round basing formation. The only way (if the pattern was to hold) is up. Fast forward to yesterday…

If price fails to break the $3 area, we’re looking at a strong case for more commodity deflation. If, however, we see a move above $3, I can’t see how anyone could argue against the case for inflating commodity prices. My recent posts of the Bloomberg Commodity Index support the case for a possible turn and move upwards here.

The importance of the outcome cannot be over-stated. It’ll shape the way the markets move for years to come. What’s it to be ? Inflation ? deflation ? stagflation ? Choose your flation, but, one way or the other, we’re going to find out in 2020.
