Upbeat Expectations 2/3/12
A positive jobs number and things heating up in Iran and Crude is back on the move advancing 1.5% today. We may see a bounce but until we see a trade back over $99 I still am thinking prices have more downward pressure. My target in March is a trade closer to $93-94 in the coming weeks. What is d...

Bulls have faded recently and bears have the near-term technical advantage. Sugar bulls' next upside price breakout objective is to push and close prices above...

If Equities Fall 1/30/12
Over the next few sessions we will know but we may see some gains given back in equities as minor chart damage is being done. That being said expect higher trade in Treasuries and commodities on a stock retraction. Crude continues to flirt with $100 unable to pick a direction. The longer this con...

Taking a Breath 1/25/12
I misread the recent action thinking we were approaching a turning point but now it appear the markets were just taking a breath and now the underlying moves are back on track....trade accordingly. Crude appears to be finding its footing as further sales are being rejected. With a settlement back...

Softs Market Commentary
March sugar closed down 20 points at 24.76 cents yesterday. Prices closed near the session low yesterday and did hit another fresh nine-week high early on. The key "outside markets" were bearish for the sugar market yesterday, as the U.S. dollar index was firmer and crude oil prices were weaker. ...

Turning Point 1/24/12
Turing point...not today and probably not tomorrow but I would expect the equity market to give back its recent gains in the very near future. What that likely means is money out of stocks and into Treasuries and commodities...just an opinion. Crude remains in no man's land as prices could go eit...

A Straight Line… 1/19/12
Nothing included markets move in a straight line...stocks will not move higher in a straight line nor will natural gas move lower...all things must come to an end. I am still in a holding pattern waiting for direction in Crude oil. We're still experiencing a tug of war in the distillates as RBOB...
