About food prices and commodities in general

It is the same old story. When everybody worries about something it is always too late.

As I mentioned in space over and over again, commodity prices rise because of cheap money and a strong economy.

Commodity prices decline following weak economic conditions.


The US economy has shown little or no growth in the past 6 months. The outcome is that commodities are beginning to show signs of fatigue as shown in the above graph (click to enlarge). Including grains and oilseeed.

The slow economy will place a cap on commodities for several months. This is good news for the consumer because inflation will abate thus increasing our purchasing power.
