We told you to sell base metal miners on 15/5/22. That was a good call.

As with other l/s call such as "short gold" in Nov 2020, it received critisism.

Let us now review what happened with Dr Copper (one proxy) since.

1/n 🧵👋 #copper
Starting June 2nd, Cu collapsed 29% in less than six weeks. How often did that happen?

Answer: not often! In past 25y Cu crashed only 8x >7% in a single week as in one week this June (stat below) & only 29x >5% (2x per week in June & July 2022).

Big quantamentel signals!

2/n

OCBC Bank 1/5: #EURUSD Downside risks averted? Choppy action left the $EURUSD still anchored on either side of the 1.2050 level. Buoyant early Tue, but the 1.2080/90 resistance still intact. Despite negative lead from
