Choppy Up-Trend Still in Place in Chicago Wheat
March soft red winter wheat futures at the Chicago Board of Trade are presently in a choppy, two-month-old uptrend on the daily bar chart. However, stiff technical resistance lies overhead, at the November high of $6.04 3/4 a bushel. A close above that key technical resistance level would ...

Gold sets the Tone
Crude looks poised to move higher but before committing capital we'd like to see the inventory report tomorrow. We feel that without any bearish developments the recent test of $75 could prove to be support. We're tracking bull call spreads in addition to selling puts and buying calls. In the ...

Iran's Nuclear Ambitions Highlight Kazakhstan's Uranium Potential
One bonus of the global recession is that it wiped a lot of incompetent hedge fund managers and energy speculators from the canyons of Wall Street. As the Gordon Gecko sycophants regroup and look for the next Big Thing, maximizing profit while minimizing risk, the landscape looks very different ...

Reflation...Is this Real?
Crude traded below the 50 day moving average for the first time since 10/9 today hitting our first objective of $76. If today's low holds in the coming sessions this could be a good beginning to a long scale, trade. At this point we cannot rule out a trade in the short run to $74 on the January ...

Biofuel Technology Rising to the Forefront
The recent revelations of a International Energy Administration whistleblower that the IEA may have distorted key oil projections under intense U.S. pressure is, if true (and whistleblowers rarely come forward to advance their careers), a slow-burning thermonuclear explosion on future global ...

Golden Heights
This week in Gold has provided yet another all-time high as the U.S Dollar continues to have difficulties sustaining or maintaining any momentum. The Dollars performance versus the Euro, poor economic reports and the worlds move into hard assets have helped to fuel this mammoth Gold and Silver ...

Geopolitical Battle Over Energy Transit Routes
As we all live in the present, it is very hard to fully assess the future implications of decisions supported or made by political and business leaders. An extraordinary game of geo-strategy is under way to lock in long-term agreements, notably in the energy sector. At a global level, the ...

Bond Bulls Keep Edge
Treasuries crept higher after an early morning sell-off but the pace was much more subdued that has been in the previous few sessions. The inability of the bears to hold bonds and notes underwater seems to favor continued, yet moderate, gains in the near term. Despite what appears to be ...

Can Precious Metals Keep on Flying?
Are you sold on gold? The precious metal outperformed every major equity index in the world in 2008. The question is, can gold--and other precious metals--keep on flying? Or would buying today be buying high and selling low? Precious metals have always been intriguing to investors because ...

Exploiting Harvest Delays
Most commodity investors that I come into contact with are trading energies and metals but perhaps a healthy portfolio needs more vegetables. With the slowest harvest in over 2 decades we believe more investors should be looking towards agriculture. Looking at the macro view in our opinion adds ...

Bonds and Notes Defy Gravity
We have said in previous newsletters that Treasuries tend to rally during November and much of December regardless of fundamentals and that seems to be the only factor keeping bonds and notes above water. On a day in which fundamentals seemed to be decisively bearish in long-term interest ...

Gearing up for NFP
Oil is still trying to making up its mind on where to go. We have no opinion or positions currently but will most likely have suggestion in the coming weeks. Natural gas looks to close at slightly better levels, we still like 75 cent January call spreads. Fresh short entries in cocoa enjoyed ...
