Copper-to-Gold Ratio
The Copper-To-Gold Ratio is often viewed as a leading indicator of economic trends.
Copper is widely used in industrial applications, making its demand sensitive to economic activities.
Gold, on the other hand, is considered a safe-haven asset.
An increase copper-to-gold ratio implies heightened industrial demand and less save-haven demand and therefor a favorable outlook for economic expansion.
When to buy Gold
- When real interest rates rise, gold falls, and when real rates fall, gold rises.
- Inflation/Money Supply is going up (hedge, to not lose paper money)
