Golden Ten Data reported on June 4 that copper and aluminum prices continued to fall, as Trump persisted in his difficult efforts to reach a peace agreement with Iran, while a pullback in tech stocks also weighed on market sentiment. Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a conditional ceasefire, which could be a possible step toward a broader resolution of the Middle East conflict. However, this outlook remains uncertain as it depends on Hezbollah stopping the fighting. Metal prices gave back some of their sharp gains from earlier this week. Analysts at ING stated in a report: “Recent price trends may remain sensitive to macro risks, and uncertainty in the Middle East poses a headwind.” The pullback in the stock market (especially tech stocks) could also intensify the pressure metals are facing. Copper has benefited from investors’ enthusiasm for AI trading, as this metal is used in power infrastructure. After the S&P 500 ended a nine-day winning streak, the KOSPI — a bellwether for AI — fell as much as 2.6% on Thursday.

Rare in 25 years! The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield surpasses the S&P 500 earnings yield

The 10-year US Treasury yield has surpassed 5%, making bonds more attractive relative to stocks than at any point in the past 25 years. The earnings yield of stocks, as measured by the inverse of the S&P 500’s price-to-earnings ratio, is now lower than the 10-year US Treasury yield, resulting in a clear yield suppression effect on the stock market from bonds. According to the Shiller model, the S&P 500 may outperform bonds by only about 1% annually over the next decade. The 20-year paradigm of stocks outperforming bonds has officially come to an end.
