The Big Debate

Today’s big question: Are commodities in a supercycle — or is this the top?

On one side, says The data needs to confirm.. That is the setup. Everyone hears it on the podcasts, it sounds convincing. On the other side, MacIntosh says We are in a commodity supercycle driven by underinvestment and deglobalization. Two smart people, opposite conclusions. So who is right?

Both Oil and Gold are falling together. When multiple signals confirm the same direction, the move tends to accelerate.

Oil at $90.5 — 78th percentile, down 2.7 percent today. Gold at $4,337 — 55th percentile, down 3.1 percent today. Copper at $6.26 — 93rd percentile, down 3.8 percent today.

Bottom line: The data is split. Neither side has a clear edge — which means the resolution is coming soon.

If oil drops below 80 dollars, the supercycle call is in trouble. Right now it is at $90.5. If copper breaks to new highs while oil falls, it is demand rotation, not a supercycle.

What to watch: Oil at $90.5 — we’ll track it daily on the scoreboard. Gold at $4,337 — we’ll track it daily on the scoreboard.

What They’re Missing

None of the seven are talking about this next signal, and they should be.

S&P 500 dropped 2.6 percent to 7,383.7. That’s the 92nd percentile — extreme territory.

Historically, the S and P at this level has historically marked a regime inflection.

None of the seven are talking about this.

Phase Tracker

Phase 1 is the good times — but good times do not last forever. Here is how close we are to the edge.

We are 76 bps away from Phase 2 — the phase where credit breaks and volatility spikes. There is no acceleration in credit stress yet. But we are watching the pace, not just the level.

The trigger: IG spread crossing 150 bps. Currently at 74 bps.

At this week’s pace, that is roughly 76 weeks of runway — that is mid-November.

Phase 1 means risk on is working. Equities, commodities, and real estate all benefit from loose conditions. Enjoy it while it lasts.

For context: the last time credit stress built like this, credit spreads blew out and high yield bonds saw drawdowns of 15 percent

The Credit & Rates layer has Initial Jobless Claims, CFNAI flashing red.

Gammon says The Fed is breaking things and credit spreads will blow out. The data agrees with that assessment.

Phase 1 holds with 76 bps of buffer. Conditions favor risk but do not get complacent.

Ground Truth

Wall Street trades the index. We trade the ground. Here is what the ZIP-level data is screaming about today.

Quitman, MS — Lenders are saying no — at scale

In Quitman, MS the HMDA denial rate is 68.0% across 50 applications. Top reason: Credit history.

Credit doors closing is the slowest, surest signal of a turn.

East Carroll, LA — Lenders are saying no — at scale

In East Carroll, LA the HMDA denial rate is 67.1% across 70 applications. Top reason: Credit history.

Credit doors closing is the slowest, surest signal of a turn.

SD — Days-on-market is spiking in Sioux Falls

DOM in Sioux Falls moved +99% in 30 days (now 232 days). Buyer leverage score: 64/100.

Days-on-market is the cleanest leading indicator we have. Big swings mean liquidity is changing fast.

These are not handpicked metros. They are the loudest signals in the housing data right now — chosen by the numbers, not the narrative.

Historical Echo

Today’s debate asked: Are commodities in a supercycle — or is this the top? Let me show you what happened the last time we were here.

Copper at $6.26 is in the 93rd percentile. That means it is higher than 93 out of 100 days in the past year.

2022: Copper dropped 35 percent on China lockdowns and global recession fears.
2020: Copper crashed in March then doubled over the next year on stimulus demand.
2011: Copper peaked above 4.60 then gave back 30 percent as China growth slowed.

Different environments, different catalysts — but every time, the resolution came fast. The pattern is not the level, it is the speed of the move once it starts.

Meanwhile, Oil at $90.5 — 78th percentile. The last time both Copper and Oil were at these levels simultaneously, the resolution came within weeks.

History does not pick a winner here, but it does say the resolution is coming soon. Be positioned before it arrives.

The Playbook

Here is what the data says to do right now.

Stay alert on VIX — it is dropping 4.1 percent today. Fast moves demand attention.

Avoid Phoenix at 41 percent payment burden — that is stretched territory.

Watch S&P 500 — it dropped 2.6 percent and nobody is talking about it.

5 out of 7 speakers are right: MacIntosh, Gammon, Snider, B. Johnson and Ceresna. When this many align, the trend usually has legs.
