On October 31, Bloomberg.com reported that, "Commodities had the biggest monthly drop since at least 1956..." last month. The CRB index, which includes 19 commodities, fell 23% in October, with "Crude oil…set for a record monthly drop, copper its biggest retreat in two decades and gold its worst performance in 25 years." Does it get better from here? For some answers, we turn to Jeffrey Kennedy, editor of Elliott Wave International's Futures Junctures Service.

Once again, I sit down to talk with Jeffrey Kennedy, Elliott Wave International's Senior Commodity Analyst and editor of our Futures Junctures Service. -- Jeffrey, the ongoing credit contraction – a.k.a. liquidity crisis – has not spared commodities. Just glancing at the long-term charts you show in the Wave Watch section of your October Monthly Futures Junctures, I see that prices of markets like coffee, corn, wheat or soybeans that were flying high just months ago, are down hard – and I mean, hard! -- Jeffrey Kennedy: Yes, while some commodities have suffered less, corn prices, for example, got cut in half since June...

The number one flaw of mainstream financial analysis is its tendency to show-up late to a market’s price action. It’s a lot like jumping out from behind the couch and yelling “Surprise!” at a birthday party – hours after the guest of honor has already arrived. Even then, the “gifts” of wisdom they bring to the table are often inconsistent and even inaccurate. Take, for instance, these former news stories regarding Corn...

The financial media is very fond of linking a given market's price action to other stuff that happened in the same day -- but seldom do they explain why. First prices fall hard "as rain and cooler weather improved prospects for crops" -- and second, this one-day action is part of a 30% decline in corn over the past five weeks. But what about the first four weeks of that price decline, which included a shortage of rain and hotter-than-usual temperatures?

Successful investing is never born of disarray, as any experienced trader will tell you. That's why an effective methodology for trading will include effective rules. So, when a commodity's price action does the unexpected, coherent rules to govern your analysis and actions can be the difference between a big loss and a small one.

"A bullish key reversal occurs when prices make a new low below the previous price range, but close above the previous day's close." An important reversal just happened in Wheat. But just how important? EWI's Jeffrey Kennedy has the answers.

Expecting markets to always behave according to your trading models is futile, and experienced traders know that. Being prepared to "assess, adapt, relabel and move on!" is an excellent piece of advice, because markets will throw you a curve ball more often than you'd expect. Elliott Wave International talks about how.

There have been a lot of rumors in the financial media that Feeder Cattle prices will continue falling as the price of corn, the main ingredient in cattle feed, continues to rise. While there is some validity to this argument, from an Elliott wave point of view, Corn and Feeders have different wave patterns. In fact, Elliott Wave International’s Senior Commodity Analyst says he feels quite optimistic about BOTH corn AND cattle prices...
