Copper tariff-premium fade

Avoid current short; demote until actual tariff/physical reversal.

Historical research, not a current entry recommendation. A retired thesis does not imply an executed paper exit.

Archived expression

−1 HGH27

HGH27 6.8185 and own MHGH27 6.8145 are above the former fade zone, not a rejection. Micro 2,500-lb sizing can reduce risk to about $900, but returned volume 24 is thin/unclocked. CFTC net length reduction is lagged, not evidence of shrinking regional premium or deliverable surplus. Reopen only with actual refined-copper policy clarity, physical premium/stock confirmation and a prospective failed retest; no automatic short.

  93. Wait — qualifying catalyst absent — A 6.8185 Friday last is above the 6.70–6.80 fade band, not evidence of rejection. Weak investment/property and U.S. manufacturing support the bearish mechanism, but stronger China equipment demand and unverified physical scarcity oppose it. Large pre-policy net-long reduction alone cannot prove tariff-premium decay. Await failed-retest and physical confirmation.
  94. Wait; higher band occupancy still does not establish rejection — Copper is higher within the rally band; failure and physical confirmation remain absent.
  95. Wait; rally-band touch still needs failure and physical confirmation — Copper returned to the rally band; the required rejection is unproven.
  96. Retain conditional short; Wait — Lower price consumed prospective short return before entry confirmation.
  97. Retain conditional short; Wait for a failed $6.70–$6.80 rally and physical confirmation — Conditional short remains untriggered.
  98. Retain short thesis; Wait for failed 6.70–6.80 rally and physical confirmation — Strong arithmetic, contradictory physicals; do not promote above coffee or crude.
  99. Retain short thesis; Wait for failed 6.70–6.80 rally and physical confirmation — Strong arithmetic, contradictory physicals; do not promote above coffee or crude.
  100. Retain short thesis; Wait for a failed rally and physical clarification — Strong arithmetic, contradictory physicals; do not promote above coffee or crude.
