The Economy’s Top Doctor Is Under the Influence of Tariffs

In economics, we often focus on gold as a barometer of the monetary system’s health.

But it’s actually copper that’s known as Doctor Copper, for its economic predictive prowess.

That’s because copper prices tend to rise in an expanding economy, given copper’s ubiquitous use in everything from construction to high-tech gadgets.

Year-to-date, copper prices are surging higher, suggesting a rip-roaring economy:

Copper prices hit a one-year high yesterday and
demand has soared ahead of potential copper tariffs.

The problem? Prices hit new highs as President Trump casually floated a 50% tariff on copper imports.

With copper imports soaring going into the news, it’s a sign that prices may be rising on pre-tariff demand. Much like how Apple filled airplanes full of iPhones from China before Trump kicked up tariff rates on Chinese goods.

For now, it’s another sign of the economic distortions being caused by President Trump’s Great Reset plan.

While copper prices may continue to rise, it’s going to be a wild ride with many pullbacks along the way. And this is your economy on tariffs – where even the trusted doctor is uncertainty stumbling along

Matt Milner: Now You Can Buy SpaceX — Should You?

July 10, 2025 • Addison Wiggin

This new wave of tokenized shares is exciting. It has the potential to break down walls and democratize access to pre-IPO giants.

But at the moment, it’s also risky, opaque, and largely unregulated.

So while we applaud the innovation, we urge caution — especially if you’re being offered something that seems too good to be true.

Soaring Costs Are Ironically Tariff-Proofing the Economy

July 10, 2025 • Addison Wiggin

Should we be concerned about the economy – much less the stock market – as President Trump heats up his tariff rhetoric?

Perhaps, tongue-in-cheek, we should first look at the data. Where are Americans spending their money these days – and how resilient is that spending in a world of higher tariffs?

The latest troubling trend shows that Americans are spending more on healthcare – often in the form of “insurance” that doesn’t insure against anything – than on necessities like food and housing:

Nvidia’s Moon Landing Moment

In 1969, Americans tuned in to watch a rocket land on the moon.

In 2025, we watched a chipmaker eclipse Exxon, Apple, and the Bank of England combined — and a copper tariff threaten to derail the next phase of the digital economy.

And a digital currency backed by energy sucking algos is challenging the once almighty dollar.

It’s a hell of a time to be an investor. Or a plumber.
