Copper tends to make a major seasonal bottom in November/December and then tends to post major seasonal peaks in April or May. One trading option that provides exposure to the copper market without having to have a futures trading account is the United States Copper Index Fund (CPER), advises Jeff Hirsch, editor-in-chief of The Stock Trader’s Almanac.
Bitcoin has demonstrated a seasonal tendency to bottom or hit a low in September, followed by a solid rally into year-end. The iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) is our preferred ETF to trade the seasonal setup, writes Jeff Hirsch, editor-in-chief of The Stock Trader’s Almanac.
What does inflation look like when analyzed through a technical lens? There is a clear relationship between the Producer Price Index (PPI) and Consumer Price Index (CPI). PPI generally leads CPI higher and lower, with peaks and troughs usually occurring within a few months of each other, observes Jeff Hirsch, editor-in-chief of The Stock Trader’s Almanac.
Over the last 35 years, August and September have been the worst-performing months of the year. Average performance has been mixed in August with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 Index (^SPX) recording losses of 0.9% and 0.6%, respectively, while the Nasdaq Composite Index has eked out a meager 0.1% gain, notes Jeff Hirsch, editor-in-chief of The Stock Trader’s Almanac.
