Commodities will play an increasingly important role as we climb out of the recent market mayhem and inflation becomes a reality. We track detailed weekly commodity trend movements.
Silver continues on its positive ways with other precious metals, recovering from last week's drop. Silver is relatively cheap compared to gold and is in heavy demand for industrial use. Currently, demand exceeds the ability to produce.
Agriculture benefited from positive economic news leading to the price of wheat and soya beans to rise.
Natural gas has started up as cold weather increases demand. Oil has also had a price jump, but this is not reflected in its direction. Energy remains on the decline as price and costs battle.
Next week's trend will help give more insight into longer term direction as we start the truly cold weather season so that we aren't confused by the drop of last week.
