If you look at the other metals like copper and steel and their associated stocks you'll see breakouts as well, and in fact, they are showing more strength than gold stocks. Looking at a chart of copper we'll see a clear breakout above the early 2023 high of $4.35 with the 2022 highs of $5.00 targeted. Fundamentally speaking copper is an industrial metal heavily needed in China and India for infrastructure, transportation, and the green energy buildout. 'Bull flag' pattern The way I'm expressing this bullish thesis in copper is through my holdings in Southern Copper Corp (SCCO) in the dividend portfolio at Inside Edge Capital. That's not exactly cheap, but with the forecasted global demand of copper we think that multiple is justified.

Aluminum ended July on a high note and there are several stocks that could benefit from the recent strength in the metal and prove opportunities for investors. Aluminum futures capped July with a 2.72% monthly gain, the most since January and their second-straight monthly advance. CNBC Pro found 11 stocks using data from Refinitiv that tend to move with aluminum prices. Each one is a member of the Russell 1000 and has a 50-day correlation coefficient of at least 0.4, which indicates at least a moderate correlation. Further down the list are stocks with more moderate correlations to aluminum: chipmaker Texas Instruments , Domino's Pizza , Align Technology and Korean e-commerce retailer Coupang .

The list includes material companies that mine the mineral, including Southern Copper Corp. and Freeport-McMoRan . Shares of Southern Copper jumped nearly 22% last month, while Freeport-McMoRan gained 11.6%. There are some other stocks on the list that have a less obvious exposure to copper, such as financial stocks Invesco and KKR . The metal often referred to as "Doctor Copper" is seen as a leading economic indicator, and financial stocks are cyclical plays. Financial stocks and copper rising could be a sign that business leaders and investors are growing more confident about the economy.

Small-scale copper miners are now challenging Big Copper for territorial control of rich deposits of the red metal. In Peru, artisanal mining permits have doubled to 80,000 since 2020, government records show. Peru's leftist administration presented a new framework for artisanal mining last week that declared artisanal mining is "as important" as big mining. "Where we have concessions we can't have (artisanal mining permits)," Rojas said. The number of valid artisanal mining permits in Tapairihua has fallen from 100 to 32 since May, according to government records.
