Precious Metal Futures--- The precious metals sold off this Friday afternoon with gold in the August contract continuing its choppy trade down $20 an ounce at 1,392 still stuck in a two-week sideways channel and as I’ve stated in previous blogs even after yesterday’s $20 up move I still remain bearish gold & I don’t understand any reason to be owning gold at this point in time and I do think a possible retest of 1,320 is in the cards in the next couple of weeks. Silver futures have been in a tight sideways channel down about $.50 at 22.21 still looking bearish in my opinion as the commodity markets as a whole are turning negative once again. The U.S dollar today was up about 45 points putting pressure on many commodities, however the dollar had 2 straight down days so today was considered profit taking but I still believe the U.S dollar is headed higher against the foreign currencies which will put pressure on the commodity markets in short term.

Grain Futures--- Grain Futures--- The grain market saw extreme volatility this week especially in the July soybeans which were up over $.50 yesterday hitting a high of 15.46 then reversing and settling unchanged settling today at 14.76 a bushel down 23 cents and has sold off 75 cents in 2 days and that tells me that there’s a possibility that this could be short term high. The November soybeans which I have talked about in previous blogs stating if prices are able to break above 12.40 a bushel hitting a 6 week high continuing its bullish trend I would advise traders to buy soybeans above that level risking $12 stop which is around $400 per mini contract as the trend continues to move higher. The U.S dollar today was slightly lower not impacting many of the commodities today except for a selected few with a really wishy-washy trend and I still think July soybeans are headed higher despite the fact of the tremendous selloff happening in the last 2 days & I think that was just profit taking and there are very few supplies to be sold and that’s the reason prices are headed higher in my opinion.

Precious Metal Futures--- The precious metals fell out of bed this week especially gold which finished down for the 6th consecutive day trading far below its 100 day moving average all due to the fact that the U.S dollar hit another contract high today trading up nearly 70 points again today as investors are fleeing out of gold and taking that money and placing it in the U.S dollar and the S&P 500 which is hitting another record high again today. Gold futures for the June contract settled last Friday at 1,436 finishing down about $70 for the week trading at 1,362 hitting a 2 year low with a possible retest of 1,321 which was hit on April 16th of this year. Investors see no reason to own gold at this point in time when you can buy the stock market which seems to go up every single day, however the real story is large hedge funds including George Soros which have been liquidating their gold positions in recent weeks and that is also putting pressure as investors are taking money out of the ETF gold market.

Precious Metals--- The precious metals in New York sold off sharply with gold down nearly $36 an ounce to settle around 1,433 down nearly $35 for the trading week which is basically all in today’s session as the U.S dollar has rallied sharply in 2 days while the Japanese Yen is hitting a 5 year low selling off nearly 300 points in the last 2 trading sessions. Gold futures for the June contract are trading below their 20 and 100 day moving average right near a 3 week low still extremely volatile and very choppy and I’m still advising traders to sit on the sidelines at this point in time and there still the possibility that gold could retest the mid-1300s before stabilizing. Silver futures were down about $.35 for the trading session after settling last Friday at 24.02 down nearly $.40 for the trading week trading below their 20 and 100 day moving average and still basically stuck in a 3 week channel really in a directionless trade I’m also advising traders to sit on the sidelines in this market until it has improving chart structure. Copper futures were one of the bright metals this week trading above its 20 day moving average but below its 100 day moving average which is currently at 3.56 pound after settling last Friday at 3.31 finishing slightly higher for the week which is impressive in my opinion since many of the commodity markets this Friday were sharply to the downside.

Grain Futures-- The grain futures this week saw extreme volatile trading action with November soybeans up nearly $.16 this Friday to settle around 12.20 a bushel trading right at its 20 day moving average but still below its 100 day moving average after settling last Friday at 12.10 a bushel gaining slightly as floods have entered the Midwest. Soybeans on the daily chart could have a possible double bottom in the November soybeans as prices traded as high as 12.40 in Wednesday’s trading session before retracing only the spring right back as weather conditions in many states are still receiving record snow. December corn futures are lower by 5 cents this Friday afternoon trading above its 20 day moving average but below its 100 day moving average which stands at 5.69 after settling last Friday at 5.24 up around $.35 for the week as massive floods are delaying planting. The Midwest has had the 2nd coldest spring in the history of the United States and has delayed planting significantly which is concerning after last year’s terrible crop. Wheat futures for the July contract have broken out above the 7.20 level which is now at a 4 week high trading above its 20 day moving average but below its 100 day moving average which stands at 7.48 and I do believe that there will be further buy stops which could propel prices even higher.
