Energies:
The crude oil futures are selling off as the US Dollar continues to
strengthen. The US refining capacity has dropped in the last 20 years because a new refinery
has not been built since 1976 which keeps distillate inventories low. US demand
on the other hand has increased significantly during this same time period.
Metals:
Gold futures are falling from the all time highs as the US Dollar
continues to strengthen. Gold may find support because of
increased industrial demand, lack of
global production capacity, stagnant gold mine productions since 2000 and
higher demand for jewelry. Barrick Gold the largest gold producer in the world
expects production to be less in 2009 than in 2008.
Silver prices sold off from
contract highs as the US Dollar continues to strengthen. Investors are flocking to hard assets as a way to protect
themselves against falling currency values and inflation that may come soon.
Copper futures broke out of the sideways basing to the downside in spite of world wide stimulus packages
that may necessitate massive copper use to build infrastructure.
Grains: The grain
markets are selling off as the US Dollar continues to strengthen and supplies
are ample.
Exotics: Coffee prices are selling off
in spite of
the idea of a tight world supply situation and the winter demand season in the
northern hemisphere may boost prices. The strengthening US Dollar are also
hurting prices.
Sugar prices rallied on the perception of a huge global
deficit in sugar based on too much rain in Brazil and not enough in India.
Cotton prices are sold off as recent strength in the US Dollar may hurt demand.
Cocoa is rallying again to 30 year highs. Trouble is the Ivory Coast, where 50% of the world's cocoa comes from,
should still be monitored closely.
Meats: The feeder cattle and live
cattle futures are selling off again.
Financials: Interest rate sensitive
futures reacted to the financial sector bail out by the US government. There
seems to be a global trend for lower short term interest rates.
Currencies: The
US Dollar is selling off as the treasury printed a trillion dollars and the Fed
is using it to purchase treasuries. This may lead to inflation very soon.

Futures and options trading is risky and can result
in losses. Futures and options trading is not for
everyone and only risk capital should be
used. Options, cash and futures markets
are separate and do not necessarily
respond in the same way to a similar
market stimuli. Hypothetical performance results
have many inherent limitations, some of
which are described below. No
representation is being made that any
account will or is likely to achieve
profits or losses similar to those shown
in fact there are frequently sharp
differences between hypothetical
performance results and actual results
subsequently achieved by any particular
trading.
