A more hawkish-than-expected FOMC meeting provides two issues for copper; a stronger US dollar and the increased likelihood that the US will begin to remove stimulus (which has been a supporting feature to the ‘great recovery’ and higher commodity prices). So we take another look at market positioning on coper futures and key levels of the front contract. We also look at a pivotal level on the S&P 500 over the near-term, then update our analysis on gold after its epic break lower yesterday.
