Are Key Commodities Decoupling from Equities?

After a long weekend, the market action on January 16th held some surprises.

The Bullish Trends, or gainers, were the dollar and — here is the surprise for some — many different commodities. The Bearish Trends, or losers, were foreign currencies, long bonds, and (not shown on the chart) US equity indexes.

To be fair, there were many commodities that did not perform well. Natural gas, following a spectacular run, fell hard, as did gold, wheat, soybean oil, and aluminum.

Two commodities, those being the ones we track the most for signs of any reignition of inflation, did okay to great.

Why do we focus on silver to gold ratio and sugar futures? As stated over the weekend, silver futures have been experiencing narrower trading ranges. “With higher lows since October, the recent support at $22.50 an ounce, if it holds, could mean this week is the week we start to see this metal shine.” Well today, silver futures had an inside day and outperformed gold, which fell about $19.00 to $2,032.

Silver held $23.00 and the underlying support level. All things considered, gold also held near-term support at $2029. However, we are yet to see silver outperform gold, so we watch.

Sugar cleared 22 cents a pound, closing at 22.52. Coffee and cocoa rallied as well. So, it was a big day for the softs.

Going back to the notion that that today could be the start of the decoupling, we need to see more. But, we are paying attention.
