Otavio (Tavi) Costa engagement report
@TaviCosta - 326K followers on X
Measured over 21 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 13, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1.1K interactions against 326K followers, an engagement rate of 0.328%. Measured over 21 original posts, its engagement rate beats 79% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size. Comparing inside a size band matters here: engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly just re-measure the follower count. Posts are seen about 63K times each, and 1.70% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 19.2% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 63% of days. Most posts go out around 17:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 21 posts sampled, 90% carry an image or video and 90% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 2.0K interactions, about 1.9x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
Otavio (Tavi) Costa's engagement rate beats 79% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 58% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 17:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses
Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 90% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 90% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 90% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 90% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
- Its average post runs 271 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.
These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

Agricultural commodities have just broken decisively above nearly 20 years of resistance. And this is happening while: ▪️Diesel prices approach all-time highs ▪️Mortgage rates hover near 7%, with housing already deeply unaffordable ▪️Wealth inequality stands near historic extremes This is precisely the kind of combination that can trigger widespread social unrest, dramatic policy shifts, and intense political pressure. None of us own enough hard assets. https://t.co/j8Z4uxDioQ

The lag in silver prices is becoming one of the market’s most compelling divergences. With copper continuing to lead, the setup into year-end could get very interesting. Just a reminder that the metal benefits from the industrial forces driving copper and the monetary forces supporting gold. https://t.co/NPMRpoGybb

It is remarkable that gold prices are nearly $3,000 per ounce higher than in 2022, yet drilling activity remains near historic lows. The same is true across several other metals. This situation speaks volumes about where we are in the mining cycle: · Reserves are being depleted. · Ore grades continue to deteriorate. · Drilling activity remains historically depressed. · Exploration budgets are still declining. If companies are not drilling today, there will be no meaningful supply response for years while structural demand for metals continues to accelerate. Game on for metals and mining. https://t.co/eNVDWSFeny

Silver miners are swimming in cash. The industry has built its largest cash balance in history. You know what comes next… M&A activity is likely on the horizon. Game on. https://t.co/fRncIKJgF9 https://t.co/LkiCJWM2M5

A consequential night for Brazil. Brazil’s next chapter could be extraordinary, in my view. An important reminder: Brazilian stocks rose nearly 19-fold during the last major bull cycle. And much of that happened under Lula. Now imagine another commodity boom with a much more supportive political backdrop. Game on. https://t.co/FLJv75iEdJ

Tech is now officially more capital-intensive than mining. This represents a fundamental shift in the market. Miners offer stronger margins, healthier balance sheets, and more compelling embedded growth. They offer a far more asymmetric way to express the AI investment thesis than technology itself, in my view. https://t.co/sUjfySPwrZ

Silver adjusted for money supply. What a great chart that tells the silver story incredibly well. A breakout with authority earlier this year, followed by a move from euphoria back to neglect as silver corrected toward former resistance, which has now become major support. The long-term thesis for silver not only remains intact, it is stronger than ever. https://t.co/IBrBFOMMhz

Here is the wild part about the Treasury market today: The US debt‑to‑GDP ratio is now roughly on par with World War II — actually a bit worse. However, back then: Nearly half of all Treasuries were backed by gold. Today, it’s about 3%. That’s how deep the problem runs. https://t.co/93PB84TH3r

This is still one of the most important macro divergences in markets today. Ever since the US seized Russian assets, we have seen this historical relationship come apart. Gold is now the main collateral for central banks. Meanwhile, the current trajectory of real yields is exactly how you go bankrupt with this much debt in the US. https://t.co/KdgXFCtoZY
