The story behind the surge in silver, copper, and gold
Copper (HG=F) and Silver (SI=F) have both risen to new highs as demand increases for these metals, while Gold (GC=F) also rises as China's Ministry of Finance proceeds with a stimulus plan involving the sale of $138 billion worth of ultra-long special sovereign bonds. Bloomberg Intelligence Senior Commodities Strategist Mike McGlone joins Market Domination Overtime to give insight into metals and how the markets might trade moving forward. McGlone elaborates on what could happen with silver as China looks to buy many precious metals: "There's potential rumors that, we know China has been the biggest buyer of gold, not just Chinese Central Bank, but citizens. There may be some hoarding of silver, but the key thing I'm more worried about silver is that it might follow that path, that autocorrelation path in copper which spikes and then goes back down. In the macro, the big picture, though, I'm very favorable in terms of commodities, most favorable to metals versus most other commodities.

Copper prices rise amid supply squeeze
Copper (HG=F) prices have risen this year amid a supply squeeze. Wells Fargo Head of Real Asset Strategy John LaForge joins The Morning Brief to discuss what is driving copper prices higher and the commodity's outlook. "We, frankly, are not producing enough copper, and yet, there are buyers everywhere right now for copper," LaForge says. However, he explains that the recent rise "was much more speculator-based and wasn't about fundamentals." He adds that commodities have been among the "best-performing major assets out there" since the coronavirus pandemic despite often being overlooked. "Decade after decade, mankind uses more and more commodities, so you have demand going up all the time," he explains. Major factors that impact commodities usually boil down to underlying fundamentals rather than geopolitical roadblocks, LaForge notes. "We were running dry on refined product. And you had some speculators come in and take advantage of that on a futures basis," LaForge says. He adds that despite this bump in the road, demand will continue to surpass supply, driving prices higher.
