HWWI index, which tracks a basket of 31 commodities, revealed that commodity prices in the United States unexpectedly dropped by -3.8% in August compared to the previous year. As my heatmap below demonstrates, the primary reason for these “unexpected” results can be found in the energy raw materials sector. Specifically, crude oil prices fell by almost -8% YoY. Other commodities showed more stable trends. In agricultural raw materials, increases in pulp and rubber were partially offset by a decrease in cotton prices. Among metals, tin prices continue to rise, while lead and nickel are easing. Within the food-related commodities, rice prices have finally dropped compared to last year. In the edible oils subcategory, coconut and palm oil prices continue to rise, while soybean oil prices are decreasing. Finally, stimulants remain a concern, with cocoa, coffee, and tea prices still at high levels, though the impact is somewhat mitigated by declining sugar prices. #macrobond #hwwi #us #commodities

🚀📈 Missed #Nvidia? There’s still a chance to get on the #AI bandwagon, especially with AI #metals. My colleague and commodities expert, Ole Sloth Hansen, discusses the short-term and long-term drivers of key commodities. While a tepid China recovery can be a headwind, long-term drivers for metals like #Copper, including the #EnergyTransition and #AIDemand, are just getting started. 🌍🔋🤖 #Commodities #InvestmentStrategy #TechGrowth #MarketOpportunities
The Bloomberg Commodity Total Return index hit a fresh 17-month high earlier this week, supported by strong rallies across industrial and precious metals, before suffering a small weekly loss after minutes from the latest FOMC meeting reiterated the higher-for-longer stance on rates with some officials even discussing whether current policies were restrictive enough. Partly offsetting the mentioned losses across energy and metals were the agricultural sector with the softs and grain sectors both rising, as weather related worries supported continued strong gains in wheat, corn, cotton, and coffee. #commodities #crudeoil #gold #silver #copper #wheat #coffee

Commodity Markets Seek Balance The volatile price movements that have characterised commodity markets over the past two years tend to calm down towards the end of the year. According to data from the AMIS report, prices of most grains and oilseeds, except rice, are down between 15 and 20 per cent compared to January 2022 levels. On the other hand, rice prices are retreating from the highest levels observed since late summer, despite the positive outlook for global production prospects. by Mehmet Uğur Gürkaynak, Milling and Grain Türkiye Read more: https://lnkd.in/gY5kyurc

The recent spike in crude palm oil (CPO) prices echoes the commodity boom of 2021/22, as supply constraints from lower palm oil production and robust consumer demand push prices up. The anticipation of production disruption as a result of the prolonged effect of El Niño, which brings dry and hot weather conditions, has also pushed up CPO prices. Year to date (YTD), the three-month CPO futures have surged over 11%, closing at RM4,074 per tonne on Tuesday. The commodity just hit a high of RM4,336 on April 3. Bursa Malaysia’s Plantation Index has likewise climbed, rising a total of 5.58% YTD. The index closed at 7,399.24 on Tuesday. “The rise in CPO prices is in line with the general trend of other commodities, which have been affected by all the recent sanctions on 'unfriendly' nations and escalating geopolitical risks. With shipping routes affected, it has also cost more to transport commodities,” TA Investment Management Bhd chief investment officer Choo Swee Kee told The Edge. https://lnkd.in/gt-7tRbb

POST-21 on Commodity Market || Road the Financialfreedom Journey || A commodity market is a type of marketplace that lets an individual indulge in buying, selling, and trading raw materials or even primary products. Ordinarily, it is a marketplace for investors that permits trading in commodities such as crude oil, precious metals, natural gas, spices, etc. 〰 What is Commodity Market❓ A commodity market facilitates an exchange of physical goods among residents in a country. Individuals aiming to diversify their portfolio can undertake investments in both perishable and non-perishable products, thereby not only mitigating the risk factor but also providing a hedge against inflation rates in an economy. ◼ Types of Commodities Kinds of commodities available for trading are categorised into the following classes based on their inherent nature – ◾ Hard Commodities ◽ Precious metals – Gold, platinum, copper, silver, etc. ◽ Energy – Crude oil, Natural gas, gasoline, etc. ◾ Soft Commodities - ◽ Agriculture – Soybeans, wheat, rice, coffee, corn, salt, etc. ◽ Livestock and meat – Live cattle, pork, feeder cattle, etc. Some examples of commodities in the market that were most commonly traded in major commodity exchanges in India included crude oil and silver. While crude oil acts as one of the most important energy sources required for virtually every industry, silver is one of the most precious metals other than gold, with a steady demand. As crude oil is not domestically available in abundance, almost 82% of it is imported from OPEC and Middle Eastern countries. Similarly, silver is traded in extensive quantities from countries such as Mexico, Peru, etc. 〰 How Commodity Markets Work❓ A commodity market works similarly to any other market. It can be a physical/virtual space where an individual can purchase, sell and trade multiple commodities at current/future dates. There’s a possibility to do commodity trading using futures contracts as well. #indiaretailinvestorsexpo #investments #investing #invest #commodities #financialfreedom #finance #financialfreedomjourney #financialgrowth #commoditiestrading #etfinvesting #dfairs #dfairs.com #growtogether

The soybean market illustrates the volatile nature of commodities The soybean market saw prices rise yesterday, a positive trend for this popular commodity. However, August Futures hinted at the capriciousness of the market, revealing a slight dip as compared to other months. This unexpected dip intrigued investors and traders, sparking a closer examination of the market’s movements. Despite the slight anomaly presented by the August futures, soybeans maintained an overall upward-leaning price trajectory. Numerous variables are considered to evaluate this market beginning with weather and demand changes. These inconsistencies remind us of the ever-volatile, unpredictable nature of commodity trading. Market fluctuations, triggered by a cocktail of factors like market states, demand-supply balance, or unforeseen developments, are commonplace. Businesses aim to stabilize these swings for improved financial management and risk mitigation. Traders utilize strategies like futures contracts and hedging to secure profits amidst these price fluctuations. The mystery behind these sudden price shifts, though intriguing, are also adding to the complexity of the market. Soybeans aren’t unique in experiencing these market movements. Parallel price shifts are evident in other commodities like Soybean Meal, Soybean Oil, Hard Red Wheat, Spring Wheat, Crude Oil WTI, ULSD NY Harbor Gasoline RBOB, and Natural Gas. The resulting price fluctuation depends on a range of market elements including supply-demand imbalances, geopolitical climates, weather changes, and various economic indicators. The dynamics of not just soybeans but other key commodities as well, are constantly being monitored for future implications. Variations in these markets can indirectly impact soybean price trends. Global political transitions and substantial variations in economic indicators also sway commodity prices and trading strategies, hence making thorough market analysis complex yet indispensable. Doubts and uncertainties are part and parcel of the commodity market, however, continuous market observation can help brace traders for potential market volatility. The importance of staying alert and informed in this dynamic market, therefore, cannot be overstated. https://lnkd.in/d5ePbFjw #soybean #soybeanmeal #soybeanoil #commodities

📊 #GRAIN #MARKET PERSPECTIVES – MARCH 14, 2024 💡 Market Perspectives is a weekly publication that offers readers information about current coarse grain markets including price, weather and freight data important for buying U.S. grains and their co-products. 🔎 Outlook: CBOT grain futures came under pressure after a couple weeks of steady-to-higher prices as soybeans pushed against the 50-day moving averages and palm oil futures rose to the best levels in a year. But the weight of Chinese cancelations of wheat purchases pushed the wheat market sharply lower and with outside markets showing signs of running out of momentum, corn prices follower lower also. Add to these pressures, a northern and central Brazil weather forecast that is slightly wetter than prior runs and markets retreated to lower levels. While the lackluster global demand for U.S. corn has fueled a bearish market, the ethanol industry has been consuming corn at record-high levels. The accumulated corn consumption for ethanol in 2023/24 has reached a record high of 2,837 million bushels, surpassing the previous record of 2,818.8 million bushels in 2021/22. This figure represents a 5.9% increase above the long-term average, indicating robust demand for corn in ethanol production. 📻 Source: https://lnkd.in/e3FEFYCp Best regards.
