<li>In last month's report we saw late-September USD strength contribute to softer base metals sentiment and a collapse in precious metals sentiment (amid reports of millennial preference for cryptocurrencies as an inflation hedge)</li>
<li>More recently, we saw copper sentiment surge to &gt;3x STDEVs, a multi-year record on our data, as financial media preoccupation with relative Chinese macro strength and strong EV demand met persistent newsflow on imminent labor-related supply disruptions in Chile; our back-testing suggests such anomalous sentiment readings normally lead to temporary pullbacks in the copper price</li>
<li>Gold &amp; silver sentiment fell further in October to levels last seen in April, but we see early signs of bottoming in gold; platinum sentiment improved on hydrogen economy news </li>
<li>Crude oil sentiment fell to its lowest since May, predictably attributed to the prospect of COVID-19 lockdowns spreading globally &amp; Libyan news</li>
<li>Iron ore sentiment has moved into positive territory in the final week of October, driven by 3 consecutive weeks of steel inventory draws in China and a notable rally in rebar prices</li>
<li>Despite deteriorating COVID-19 newsflow, crude weakness and USD strength, sentiment is positive on more commodities relative to late September, with supply disruptions and greater conviction on Chinese macro the key drivers</li>

TMI Indicators:  November Commodity Sentiment - Base Overshoots, Ferrous Improves, Gold Bottoming?

Commodities

Our September cyclical commodity sentiment review highlights notable divergence in the commodity space, with potential over-exuberance seen in copper and platinum; early signs of positive change seen in corn via US farmer sentiment; an accelerating slide for crude oil sentiment towards negative territory; and weak showings for uranium and mineral sands.  We discuss recent catalysts picked up via text mining for our core cyclical commodity sentiment indicators below.

Equity Bottom-Up

INVESTMENT VIEW:  We believe <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/13" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:13:1">Rio Tinto Ltd (RIO AU)</a> shares are oversold versus <a href="https://www.smartkarma.com/entities/147" target="_blank" data-smartkarma-citation="entities:147:1">Bhp Billiton (BHP AU)</a> and recommend a pair trade: long Rio; short BHP.  Our analysis of each company’s earnings sensitivities to recent commodity price changes reveals much less contention to their earnings outlook than their share price changes since mid-June implies.  We look for Rio’s shares to regain 16% on a relative basis versus BHP into the next earning cycle.
