A quick glance at today’s commodities charts reveals one futures market that’s looking pretty sweet: sugar.

 

Sugar rallied to a four-week high today (April 15) – a move that had financial media outlets everywhere scrambling to figure out exactly why everyone’s so "high" on the commodity.

 

The move also caught the attention of our own futures analyst Mike Boysen – who is filling in today for Daily Futures Junctures' long-time editor Jeffrey Kennedy.

 

But while the conventional financial media is still scrambling to figure out exactly why sugar keeps jumping, Mr. Boysen only needed to take one glance at last week’s Weekly Wrap-up, presented by Jeffrey in Friday's Daily Futures Junctures', to gain a solid foothold of what to expect next.

 

Here is the chart of sugar (with some labels removed for this publication) that Jeffrey Kennedy displayed last Friday (April 11):

 

 

As you can see, Jeffrey expected a move higher in sugar in the near future – and we got one on April 15.

 

From an Elliott wave perspective, Sugar has rallied because prices have been developing an impulsive pattern, which was likely to be concluded some time this week. Now that it has, it doesn't really matter why prices did what they did. For futures traders, what matters now is where those prices go next.

 

Conventional analysts say that sugar has rallied "on speculation [that] higher corn prices will boost demand for fuel made from sugar cane.” (Bloomberg)

 

Elliott wave analysis says that now that Sugar is getting close to its established price objectives, what is likely in store for sugar bulls is a big surprise. To learn more, read the April 15 Daily Futures Junctures online now – risk-free for 30 days, as always.

The Elliott Wave Principle is a detailed description of how financial markets behave. The description reveals that mass psychology swings from pessimism to optimism and back in a natural sequence, creating specific Elliott wave patterns in price movements. Each pattern has implications regarding the position of the market within its overall progression, past, present and future. The purpose of Elliott Wave International’s market-oriented publications is to outline the progress of markets in terms of the Wave Principle and to educate interested parties in the successful application of the Wave Principle. While a course of conduct regarding investments can be formulated from such application of the Wave Principle, at no time will Elliott Wave International make specific recommendations for any specific person, and at no time may a reader, caller or viewer be justified in inferring that any such advice is intended. Investing carries risk of losses, and trading futures or options is especially risky because these instruments are highly leveraged, and traders can lose more than their initial margin funds. Information provided by Elliott Wave International is expressed in good faith, but it is not guaranteed. The market service that never makes mistakes does not exist. Long-term success trading or investing in the markets demands recognition of the fact that error and uncertainty are part of any effort to assess future probabilities. Please ask your broker or your advisor to explain all risks to you before making any trading and investing decisions.
