Are Commodities Reversing or Consolidating?
It has been a dramatic week in the markets, with the long oil and short financials trade reversing hard and a number of the relationships that have been intact for the past nine months being thrown into disarray.
As I have been maintaining since early in the year, speculative money is likely to be flowing into either commodities or equities, but not both. That basic premise has not changed, but what has been called into question is whether the second half of 2008 will be more friendly to commodities or equities.
I believe the answer to the commodities or equities conundrum is that it is still too early to tell, but commodities still have to be considered the preferred asset class. Two charts below tell a good deal of the story. The first graphic is a weekly chart of the Reuters/Jefferies CRB index, which is heavily weighted toward energy. It shows that the recent pullback in commodities is consistent with previous pullbacks and consolidation periods. Neither the magnitude nor the duration of the recent reversal in the bullish commodities trend suggests that the bull market in commodities is winding down.
The second chart last appeared on this blog two months ago. It reflects the ratio of the commodities basket in the Rogers International Commodity Total Return Index (RJI) to the SPX. [RJI is an ETF linked to the Rogers International Commodities Index that has a broad weighting, with less emphasis on energy than most commodity indices] The ratio chart also shows much more of a consolidation ongoing in the present market environment than a reversal.
Of course, one more week of soaring financials and plummeting oil prices will dramatically change the tone of the chart, but for now at least, consider the commodities trend to still be intact (and susceptible to buying on the dips), which means the case for a reversal in equities is still a weak one at this stage of the game.

Looks to me as 5 waves up. Now, the correction.
I think commodities are heading down, and may have peaked. An attempt at a double top is likely, though.
thank you. excellent. i humbly note, that the graph on the R is falling off the chart (hidden from view or cut off prematurely). i know how hard this is, having done a LOT of blogging here and used stockcharts.com alike. dk
Hi dk,
I'm afraid my graphics are not compatible with all monitors -- I apologize for the inconvenience.
The easiest workaround is to right click on the image, highlight "Copy Image Location," and paste the link into a new browser window.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,

thank you Bill. best regards, dk
Commodities had a similar short-squeeze drop back during the Bear Stearns bailout. I am betting (literally) you are right: Both the upward trend of commodities and the downward trend of stocks are intact.
Stunning how quickly this week's fierce but evanescent snapper rally reverted $VIX:$VXV to the mean.
The difference I see now is that $CRB fell below the trend line which supported it at the January, May and June lows. And, on a daily basis, it fell bellow the 50 EMA for 2 days now. So, unless it recovers 50 EMA and the trend line in the next 2 days, I would say this time is different.
The definitive proof of a trend change would be a penetration of the 420 supporta and failure to recapture 420. This would mean falling in the previous Darvas box with support around 370.

We have talked with one of the Oily skin person Rosy. "My skin was so oily since childhood and it was really irritating for me. I can't be confident even while i go to party or else to a function, everyone stares at my oil skin and i have to feel the shy. This is where I came across the best Skin Care Products from the Yuglo skin where the best Face Oil is one of the best products which makes my face very smooth, free from oil and looks so great. Since then I have become an evid fan of the natural skin care brand. Especially the Natural Ingredients makes the brand so unique because these days we are seeing so many chemicals used products. Even though, their results might be faster but in the long run, we are going to have issues while using such kind of brands. Hence I recommend Yuglo for any women who is looking for organic and natural products for their hair, face and skin".
While when we got the opportunity to speak with one of the dry skin women Ily. Ily said "My skin was dry all the time and it is really frustrating experience for me, especially, I stay in the cold regions and when there is heavy cold, you can clear see the layers coming out from the lips and skin due to dryness, that is where i tried the Lip mask from the Yuglo. I apply it at thee night time before i sleep and while i woke up in the morning, i am going to have a great and nice experience, My skin feels better and i also tried the skincare Facemask from this organic brand. I applied it for a month and you don't and you don't believe me the results are fantastic. I am using both their Peach Lips mask and Face mask for the skin since past 2 years and i would love to try their new products as well in the future. Thanks to the yuglo skin for bringing such awesome products and great thing is they are available at an affordable pricing. It merely costs me $25 per month to try their products and have a healthy skin routine.
When it comes to the types of the products, there are so many people who are trying the natural face masks by seeing the youtube videos and improving their skin care. There are majorly three types of skins, one is oily, the other is dry and the third one is mixed. Especially those with Oily skin always suffer due to their face looks quiet odd due to the excess oil on their face and they feel so bad about it. The same is the case with the dry skin people too, their skin becomes so dry and can see the layers coming out from their face and especially lips during the winter time, it is going to be so heavy.
This is where the Organic products of skin care has come in handy for these kind of people. While people who are having a mixed dry and oily skin, not had to suffer much but still they can improve their skin tone using the Lips mask product from amazon. This product is bought by more than 100000+ happy customers and has an average rating of 4.5 with more than 5500 reviews. This product is from natural skin care brand Yuglo.
They have products which are related to hair, face and lips. Especially their lip sleeping mask is the best seller and next comes, the face mask which is also quiet good seller for them. They also have face oil and new vanilla flavor for the lips, they want to become one of the top skin care brands in the future by solving all the issues related to the skin care. They also have the face moisturizer which is one of the best among the face moisturizers compared to others as those comes with the natural ingredients which everyone will love than compared to unnatural and chemical ingredients.
