Copper's been catching a bid lately as the greenback took a step back. The weakness in the dollar came on the heels of President Trump's tariff rhetoric directed at Greenland—a move that's rattled currency markets and reshaped risk sentiment. Meanwhile, China's economic engine is firing on cylinders, with growth hitting the government's target figures. This matters more than you'd think for commodities traders and macro watchers. When the dollar softens and growth data comes in hot, typically you see reflation trades kick in. Hard assets like copper tend to benefit from that kind of macro setup, especially when global growth looks resilient. It's a reminder how interconnected traditional markets and crypto are—macro winds that move copper prices often end up moving capital allocation across all asset classes.

When the dollar softens, copper rises. This logic makes sense. However, Trump's move on Green Island was truly outrageous, causing the market to get all mixed up.

When the dollar softens, copper takes off. I could make money on this pattern with my eyes closed.

Whenever the dollar softens, people start speculating on copper. I'm tired of this old script. The key still depends on China's growth data; that's the real game changer.

Is it the same old story? Weak US dollar, rising copper prices, and then saying that crypto is linked to traditional markets... I bought copper futures last year based on this argument, and they're still sitting in a loss. Counter-indicator in action, waiting for a sharp decline.

A soft copper dollar takes off, this logic is so familiar... The key is still supported by Chinese data, otherwise it would have cooled down long ago.

Copper is rising quite well; as soon as the dollar loosens, it immediately follows. This macro environment is indeed quite intense.
