The primary negative influences on copper: Sevens Report Analysts Quoted in MarketWatch

Here’s what this real-time barometer says about tariff-induced recession risks rising

“Recession worries and lack of concrete progress in trade relations between the U.S. and China remain the primary negative influences on copper,” analysts at Sevens Report Research wrote in Wednesday’s newsletter.

They said the “primary trend in copper is not one of higher or lower prices, but of volatility, which highlights trade-war uncertainty and an elevated sense of angst among global investors.”

There were several legitimate reasons for last week’s rally

There were several legitimate reasons for last week’s rally: Sevens Report Analysts Quoted in Investing.com

Can Trump’s “Happy Talk” keep the S&P 500 above 5,500? Strategist weighs in

According to Sevens Report, “there were several legitimate reasons for last week’s rally, including (in order of importance): De-escalation of the trade war with China, de-escalation of the Trump/Powell feud, rising anticipation for the announcement of numerous trade deals, and solid Q1 earnings.”

However, Sevens Report cautioned that “none of these events are materially bullish,” and warned that while “still-negative sentiment helped the S&P 500 temporarily break through 5,500 on some good earnings or further trade de-escalation briefly, I do not think the news has turned good enough to sustain a rally.”

“Trump understands that firing Powell would hammer markets, so he (probably) won’t try it, but that doesn’t mean the negative headlines are done,” Sevens Report said.

They added, “The Fed meets next on Wednesday, May 7, and the Fed is very unlikely to cut rates at that meeting and that could draw Trump’s ire.”

On the trade front, Sevens Report noted that while tariff reductions are better than escalation, “the baseline level of tariffs will be much higher than it was in January and that will be a headwind on growth and a tailwind on inflation.”

Looking ahead, Sevens Report stated, “it is very unlikely that 2025 S&P 500 EPS expectations stay at $270,” suggesting that “a $10/share reduction to $260 (or even lower) seems more appropriate.”

How much economic damage have tariffs done?

How much economic damage have tariffs done?: Tom Essaye Quoted in MarketWatch

Is the stock market overvalued? Investors look for ‘economic damage’ from tariffs

Investors are hoping trade deals that reduce tariffs may be announced soon, which would help inform whether the U.S. stock market is currently overvalued, according to Tom Essaye, founder and president of Sevens Report Research.

“‘How much economic damage have tariffs done?’ is one of the most important questions for investors right now because if the answer is ‘a lot,’ then this market is still substantially overvalued,” Essaye said in a note Monday. “If the answer is ‘not too much’ and tariff reduction occurs, then the case can be made for a sustainable rally (as long as we get consistent policy).”

The Gold-to-Silver Ratio (GSR) is a simple and compelling measure

The Gold-to-Silver Ratio (GSR) is a simple and compelling measure: Tom Essaye Quoted in Investing.com

Are silver prices set for a breakout?

Silver may be setting up for a breakout, according to Sevens Report’s Tom Essaye, who highlights a rare divergence between gold and silver pricing that could soon correct in favor of the latter.

“The Gold-to-Silver Ratio (GSR) is a simple and compelling measure with historical significance. It tells you how many ounces of silver it takes to buy one ounce of gold. Today, that number is around 100:1,” Essaye said in a Thursday report.

Essaye emphasizes that silver is increasingly seen as the “people’s gold,” while also benefiting from strong industrial drivers.

Demand is growing “due to electric vehicles, which use more silver than traditional cars.” Moreover, Essaye highlights solar panels, one of the fastest-growing sources of silver demand, electronics, 5G technology, medical devices, and defense systems.

Even with these tailwinds, silver prices have yet to revisit their 2011 highs near $50. “Silver hasn’t even returned close to its all-time high of $49.95 during this current precious metals’ bull run,” Essaye said.

“Typically, it runs between 40:1 and 60:1, and it doesn’t get above 100 very often,” he added.

Erode this idea of solid structure of the government

Erode this idea of solid structure of the government: Sevens Report Analysts Quoted in Investing.com

Trump attacks on Powell a “potentially large negative” for markets – Sevens Report

In a note to clients, the Sevens Report analysts argued that if Trump moves to encroach on the Fed’s independence, it could lead to a legal showdown that would exacerbate recent worries over an uncertain business outlook, and possibly send the benchmark S&P 500 down below 5,000.

“Put plainly, global investors buy U.S. assets and come to the U.S. to innovate because they know the rules (the court system is well established and broadly viewed as impartial) and these rules don’t change based on the latest elections or on which power is in control in Washington,” the analysts wrote.

Trump’s recent scathing attacks on Powell, however, “erode this idea of solid structure of the government and as such, erode the idea of American economic exceptionalism,” they added.

Bitcoin’s 2025 downtrend line was violated earlier this month: Sevens Report Co-Editor, Tyler Richey, Quoted in MarketWatch

Bitcoin could rise back toward $100,000 if this happens, as dollar and stocks fall while gold rises

From the technical perspective, bitcoin’s 2025 downtrend line was violated earlier this month while the relative strength index, a momentum indicator, showed a bullish divergence, according to Tyler Richey, technical analyst and co-editor at the Sevens Report. It suggests that bitcoin may see a rise back toward $100,000 if the market can break above its highs in late March at near $88,000, Richey said.

This could spark a selloff in oil: Sevens Report Co-Editor Tyler Richey Quoted in MarketWatch

U.S. oil supplies rise sharply, and trade-war ‘angst’ may be to blame for a drop in demand

“If that drop in demand is being fueled by tariff worries and trade-war angst … then that marks the start of what could be a crippling trend of declining demand that would, barring supply-side surprises, spark a selloff in oil,” Tyler Richey, co-editor at Sevens Report Research, told MarketWatch.
