Copper is probably listening to them, are economic assets, the macro; We have a myriad of pieces presented in its title, "the doctor expressed as copper" as a marker for the health of the industry. Therefore, the price of its past your troops had caused concern.
The copper ETF company Freeport McMoran, on the other hand, in the bustling heart of gold (FCX)-which is mostly in the form of copper hydroxide, copper in particular, despite the company has become the de facto state-of-the-art instrument or copper money speculation quickly crowd in particular hedge-son. You can see the position fell sharply over the past month.
FCX is now either the User of the dead cat or approximately greater than the costs of carrying out the move, mostly (it appears) are based on the thesis-that is to say, the new hot from Japan to rebuild "". Nevermind, we are not even "the isolation of Japan" is still ... keinottelijoilta (10) is a hot theme, and this one sounds wonderful. Remember that the market-at least in the shorter Run-a-thesis, does not need to be correct, as long as enough people believe in it and drive the prices of the kasoittain in the same direction. Keep an eye on this name, because if it breaks this resistance quickly over the next-level money crowd begins to cluck everything back on track.

The historic "copper" in the title of doctor, you have argued that most of the commodities such as copper prices are now more an indication of whether China is a huge Tattoo it "only" or "high" signal amounts-rather than-as the worldwide economic health of this country has become the world's edge, the number of the buyer. China may slow down its economy successfully and/or prices finally reached a point where the "no mas" was in order. WSJ article on how the copper prices have reach the point of the substitutability of aluminium with now is now possible.
Copper: the surge in prices this year is sparking switch to another electricity conducting metal manufacturers: aluminium. The leaders of the passenger cars, air conditioning equipment and industrial components are still on the increase in the costs of the transition will help the much cheaper than the metal of the pressures of the global economic recovery gains steam.The difference between the prices of copper and aluminium is now enough to cover the costs of retooling, some manufacturing processes, and to pay an additional aluminium it takes to run the same amount of electricity expressed as copper.Mature markets include switch, wiring, cars and buildings and evaporator coils are used in commercial condensing and refrigerators.Such substitution has been in the past decade, the people's Republic of China and the limited demand for the cause of my supply certainty of copper prices. From February 2001 through last month had increased more than fivefold metal although 66% of aluminium.Even if the copper is the recent record-setting rally of more than $ 4.60, according to Japan's nuclear energy triggered a crisis in the second half of the body and clipped fears that high oil prices Dampen global economic recovery, the metal remains very often proves to be cheaper to use aluminum instead of copper, the key to the $ 3.50-a-pound-a-level and above. The cost of the aluminium (a) the pound now $ 1.15.The average passenger cars developed for sale on the market of approximately GBP 20-23, while copper, the more basic models built in emerging markets is around 5-6 pounds. Within five years if copper rises to the development of the company's $ 6-area Burns predicted the aluminium will replace the 30-40% of vehicle fuel consumption of copper.If the prices of copper, aluminum would keep the rising from 20% of global annual 19 million tonne of refined copper, Alcoa estimates referred to in the order. Copper at current prices, that the image is used in 4-5%, i.e. approximately was less tonnes of copper.The annual replacement of copper losses over the past five years is the average of 425,000 tonnes, i.e. approximately 2% of the market, according to estimates, the Anglo-Australian mining giant Rio Tinto PLC. The mining company expects losses grow approximately 3% of the market in 2010 and 2011. the replacement can end up copper prices Dampen to some extent. But most see the analysis in General, the higher the recovering world economy is expected to be in excess of demand, the shade of the mine supply, industrial companies and their customers in the lurch, leaving until they find the replacement prices.The construction sector, sales patterns, Graybar, St. Louis-based distributor of electrical equipment, suggests that OEMs can probably use more aluminium in the construction of the electrical connections during the period this summer as they have in recent years. Graybar sales type: commonly used in the manufacture of copper wire slipped from 6% of the last half of 2009 over the same period last year, although sales of similar aluminium cable volume increased by 6%.The world's largest producer of copper in the private sector, Freeport-McMoRan copper and Gold Inc., Vice President, played down the threat of substitutes, but acknowledged that the recent call to analysts, some customers are getting the jerkiness. "They are worried about the high copper prices, ... check the possible replacement, but that applies to new markets," said Richard Adkerson, CEO.He cited the book standard copper and electric cars, hybrid, and still use the electronics, where the aluminium is not as easily replaced by a space.
