A Copper Wire

A Copper Wire

http://acopperwire.wordpress.com/

I am a copper wire slung in the air,

Slim against the sun I make not even a clear line of shadow.

Night and day I keep singing–humming and thrumming:

It is love and war and money; it is the fighting and the tears, the work and the want,

Death and laughter of men and women passing through me, carrier of your speech,

In the rain and the wet dripping, in the dawn and the shine drying,

A copper wire.

Carl Sandburg

Based on the latest Commitment of Traders report (see below), hedge funds have reduce their long position on copper. If funds are not interested in copper anymore, you better don't go against their view.

Hedge-fund managers and other large speculators decreased their net-long position in New York copper futures in the week ended May 13, according to U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data.

Speculative long positions, or bets prices will rise, outnumbered short positions by 4,188 contracts on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, the Washington-based commission said in its Commitments of Traders report. Net-long positions fell by 3,006 contracts, or 42 percent, from a week earlier.
