About commodities

Commodities are the most sensitive indicator of what is really happening to the economy.

Copper is sinking. DBC (commodity index) is very weak. DBA (agriculturals) is tanking. Gold is very weak (as our models were expecting). Oil is below the peak of April of last year.

What does it mean? It means demand for commodities is low. Why? Because the economy is not strong enough.

If the economy were strengthening commodities would be soaring. In my next issues I will discuss some important indicators that will shed some light on the strength of the economy.

Why do we care? Because your investments in a weak economy are much different from those in a stronger economy.
