The spread between stocks and commodities is stunning.
The spread between stocks and commodities is overstretched. Will it matter?
To my knowledge, there has never been a larger discrepancy between the valuations of stocks and commodities. While each asset class has independent fundamentals and shouldn’t carry perfect correlation, they have always been somewhat tied to each other. Yet, we are currently witnessing both markets stretched to extremes; while stocks are at all-time-highs, commodity indices such as the Bloomberg Commodity Index are near all-time-lows.
Crude Oil and Natural Gas: Be greedy when others are fearful?
The first thing I learned about the financial and commodity markets is not to fall in love with high-flying assets, although doing so lately has worked. Likewise, writing off markets most traders have grown to hate is generally a bad move in the long run. The explanation is simple, most active speculators are wrong more than they are right; human behavior and opinions change, even the “facts” can change as they did with the peak oil theory. Thus, if the masses are convinced a commodity will do one thing it generally does the opposite; if beating the markets were easy, everyone would do it.
Don’t Sleep on the Grains.
What is in store for corn and soybean futures following the US trade deal?
This week President Trump signed a phase one deal with China that includes an agreement for the purchase of US agricultural products at a level that exceeds pre-trade war levels. Specifically, the Chinese have agreed to purchase $32 billion worth of agricultural commodities over the next two years. Why then, are grain prices softening on the news?
