Investing.com — Copper, the metal economists typically look at for the health of the economy, is flashing recessionary signals through its price, which has fallen more than 10% over the past two months, QI Insights says.<\/p>\n

While it is often viewed as a proxy for growth in its largest consuming nation China, the metal \u2014 alternatively known as \u2018Dr. Copper\u2019 for its use as a diagnostic tool for the global economy \u2014 has greater relevance, adds QI .<\/p>\n

Since the end of March, New York-traded have lost about 13% of their value, falling from a high above $4.17 to around $3.58 on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re bearish China, you\u2019re probably going to ignore this signal,\u201d QI said in a note. \u201cBut just be aware Dr. Copper is already pricing in a fair amount of bad economic news. Put another way, you need to see the economic data materially worsen from here, i.e. a recession is imminent.\u201d<\/p>\n

QI, however, said the so-called model value for copper has only fallen by 1.25% since April, moderated by growth across the United States, China, Europe and Japan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe offset has come from financial conditions,\u201d said the QI note. \u201cCredit spreads are the next biggest driver, explaining 17% of the model. Tight credit spreads and market pricing of central bank rate cuts together have helped nullify the deterioration in the growth picture.\u201d<\/p>\n

Also, another valuation metric for copper, known as the \u201cFair Value Gap,\u201d or FVG, was at 8.3% below the model value, QI said.<\/p>\n

This is \u201cthe cheapest it has been in this current regime, dating back to July last year,\u201d the QI note said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you\u2019re a contrarian, note [that] using this FVG as a buy-the-dip signal has produced 13 trades (so almost once a year), has a 62% hit rate, typically taking around four weeks to produce a +0.85% average return.\u201d<\/p>\n

But QI also cautioned against expectations of easy profiting from a copper buy now, especially with the Federal Reserve bent on further monetary tightening when, ideally, the central bank should consider rolling back its more than year-long aggressive action that has added 500 basis points to U.S. .<\/p>\n

\u201cThe health warning this time is you need financial conditions to stay easy,\u201d the QI note said. \u201cIn plain terms, you need the Fed to embrace a dovish pivot; the risk scenario is a hawkish Fed that sticks to their higher-for-longer mantra.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
