What's Next For Commodities?

Is the bear market in commodities over, or has it just begun?” Futures Junctures editor Jeffrey Kennedy reveals where the strongest case lies – with bulls or bears – with 7 pages and 7 eye-opening charts of every market, from silver to soybeans, inside the brand-new November Monthly Futures Junctures.

Coffee Prices & Starbucks: Any Connection?

Jeffrey, let's talk about coffee. Like prices of most soft commodities, coffee has been trending down this year – but what's interesting, have you noticed that the price of Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX) has also been sliding? On the first trading day of this year, one share sold for about $18; in October, it fell to about $9. Do you think there is a connection here? -- Jeffrey Kennedy: Interesting observation. Well, yes and no...

Commodities: October Was "The Worst." What About November?
Bear markets are not "bad" – they are a natural part of the market cycle.

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.

Coffee, Soybeans: Two Lessons With a Message
Commodity bubble may have burst, but opportunities are still here.

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...

Coffee: Wheel Of Fortune
You need some deductive reasoning to apply Elliott wave analysis in your trading.

Mainstream financial analysis usually does one of two things: Waits around for this or that supply/demand report to provide direction to a seemingly delayed market – OR – cherry picks through the day's events for a “fundamental” reason to explain direction that has already taken place. Either way, it ends up missing out on the action.

Coffee Falls: The End, Or Start Of A Trend?
What to make of coffee's dramatic price reversal?

In the world of Elliott wave analysis, there are distinctive outside characteristics that reveal whether a market’s prices are going WITH or AGAINST the larger trend.

Coffee Futures: Watch Out For The "Hockey Stick"
Elliott Wave International describes a peculiar variation of an Elliott wave pattern using coffee futures as an example.

If you’ve ever watched an ice hockey game, you know that a hockey stick can be an artistic tool, producing slack-jawed, “did you see that?!” moments. Funny enough, there’s an Elliott wave pattern that goes by the same name. And the outcome of the “Hockey Stick” in wave analysis can produce almost the exact same reaction.

Coffee Futures: Opportunity Heats Up
Elliott Wave International describes inconsistencies between the recent supply stories about Coffee and its subsequent price action.

Rule number ONE of conventional economics states: Commodity prices are driven by changes in supply and demand. When it comes to the real world, however, financial markets DO NOT always play by said rule. Take, for instance, the March 13 news items regarding the number of Coffee plants expected to reach fruition.
