I fail to grasp the general consensus where the overall impression seems to be that "bad technicals" but "a very pretty fundamental picture"?
LME stocks jumped +45% just since January alone! - How is that a "good" fundamental picture? (I must be missing something, especially with China not coming back, in any way resembling past demand.)
Long(er) term, one could make a case, perhaps, but only by disregarding the hole that the decline of Chinese demand will poke into global fundamentals.
On the other hand, Copper/Gold ratio looks rather bullish.
Here is a close-up;
As for the Copper/Gold Ratio;
That is definitely what bullish looks like!
Stay SHORT for now (... and then make a lot of money trading it from under 3.50 ;-)

So far, this has been moving by the numbers, like clock work;
Let's hope this continues - with lots of money yet to be collected!

This has been kindly following our numbers (arrows) ...
... and after making 50%+ on it, it's now time to just sit and watch ;-)
This is still a Short Bias here, with an undeniable US recession looming and all.

We are however, continue to watch Copper/Gold closely ...
... as the model suggests there should be quite an opportunity towards the end of the summer.

I forgot to update this earlier;
This is a strong SHORT here.
Trade active:
No China stimulus, stronger USD, LME stocks sky high ... Who could've foreseen all of that?! ;-) So, until Cooper is discovered to be a cure for cancer ...
... this is a SHORT

Boom!!
This is just getting under way (SHORT)!

To say that Copper has been going by-the-numbers this year, would be an understatement;
Lot of money already made and yet to be collected here.
If not already SHORT, now would be a good time.

LME stocks are at record levels and still growing. (A US recession down-spike is yet to crush this!) The only potential concern here are the managed money shorts, making this trade increasingly lopsided. (Which is why I chose to play this with synthetic puts.)
