No copper supercycle

China is too weak and Europe cannot afford its Green Deal, so the copper supercycle does not happen.

Result

If held over the last 3 months (Jul 30, 2026 – Oct 29, 2026): −3.1%. Over the same days: S&P 500 +5.2%.

What it holds

  • Copper falls, 100% of the money, −4.5% over 3 months: against COPPER (Copper). Weak China and a retreat from green policy cut copper demand.

The plan behind it

Alexander Stahel wrote on 17 Oct that he does not buy the copper supercycle. China is too weak to sustain it, and Europe’s Green Deal is too costly; Germany and France just dropped the combustion engine ban. This holds a short on copper.

I’ve explained for months (below) why I don’t buy the copper supercycle. China is structurally too weak to sustain it, while Europe’s Green Deal will collide with a simple reality: nobody can afford it. Today, Merz said: “We reached an agreement bw Germany and France on future policy toward the automotive industry. With this, the combustion engine ban is history.” It’s only the beginning. Book it: the “Green Deal” — never green, always an exercise in energy illiteracy — is heading for the scrapheap. Good thing…

What would prove it wrong: China demand recovers and copper makes new highs.

FAQ

Can I make one from my own idea?

Yes. Write what you believe in plain words at https://f.xyz/create. fxyz asks a couple of questions, builds the portfolio and shows how it would have done over the last 3 months.

Can I turn a post on X into a theory?

Yes. Reply to the post and tag @fxyzai. It tests the view in the post and replies with the 3-month result and a link.

What can it trade?

Stocks (Tesla, Apple, Nvidia), crypto (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana), pre-IPO companies (OpenAI, Anthropic), indices (Nasdaq 100, S&P 500), commodities (gold, silver, oil, copper) and currencies (EUR/USD, USD/JPY). One theory can mix them, and bet for or against any of them.

How does it react to news?

On each check it reads the last two days of news on its biggest holdings and says whether the idea still holds. It can make one small change at a time: trim or drop one holding by up to 5 points. On autopilot the change waits 10 minutes so the owner can skip it; otherwise it asks first.

How do I run it with real money?

For real money, tap Make it mine, open your copy and choose Use real money, with an exchange connected: Hyperliquid, Lighter, Lighter (Robinhood), Backpack, Pacifica or Binance. The money stays in your own account there. fxyz can place trades, but it can never withdraw.

Can the AI get it wrong?

Yes. fxyz's AI turns the idea into holdings, and it can get that wrong: add a coin or stock that doesn't fit, or miss one that does. Check the holdings before you put money in. In your own copy, ask its chat to add or drop any of them.

What do the 3-month numbers mean?

What $100 would have done holding this mix over the last 3 months, at real prices. It is a what-if, not a record: past or simulated results are no promise of future ones, and nothing here is investment advice.
