May copper is positively positioned in the early going today. With a weaker Dollar and generally up bear macro economic views, the bull camp has more ammunition than the bear camp. Limiting the upside in copper are beliefs that Chilean production won’t be seriously derailed because of the quake. While we can’t deny some upside action today, we are uncomfortable chasing copper prices higher off the current macro economic view. However, May copper will probably see some noted support off the even number $3.40 level, but we wouldn’t be surprised if the private jobs readings serves to temper the bullish attitude a bit in physical commodity markets later this week. On the other hand, some traders are taking notice of a small number of daily LME copper stock declines and suggesting that is the beginning of a pattern and that is another example of the market spinning marginal developments into a positive event.
