As many children around the globe gear up for exciting Easter egg hunts this weekend -- one heart-pounding financial search is already over: The quest for opportunity in the world's leading commodity markets.
Open up your basket: The brand-new April 9 Daily Futures Junctures (DFJ) "Weekly Wrap-up" presents original price charts for TWENTY major markets, each one filled with more tantalizing content than a Cadbury egg, such as: Fibonacci calculated resistance levels, critical trend lines, potential up-and-downside targets, and bold arrows pointing prices in their next probable direction.
Off the top are these familiar favorites:
Cocoa Sours: The April 3 DFJ' "Weekly Wrap-up" chart showed prices set for a strong turn down. Now that the market stands at a two-week low, the usual experts blame "a strong dollar" for "reducing cocoa demand." Try again: From December to February, a sustained rise in the dollar did nothing to buck the uptrend in cocoa. Find out how low cocoa prices are set to go...
An Ear to Corn: According to the mainstream experts, a rise in crude oil prompts a rise in corn. The reason being: the higher the cost of oil, the greater the demand for alternative fuels, such as grain-based ethanol. Problem is: In the four days ending April 9, crude oil ended UP, while corn prices plunged to a one-week low. The new "Weekly Wrap-up" sets the record straight.

Lumber, Out of the Woodwork: Despite data confirming that the worst housing crisis since the Great Depression was nowhere near its bottom, the February 13 DFJ' "Weekly Wrap-up" chart contained a bold arrow pointing UP, way up, in the strongest wave pattern there is. Now that lumber prices stand at a near three-month high, the new "Wrap-up" hits the nail on the market's head.

(Commodities: 20 Markets. 35 Price Charts. One service: The April 9 Daily Futures Junctures "Weekly Wrap" offers the most comprehensive coverage of the near-term opportunities out there. Act Now.)

Live Cattle Comes Alive: The April 2 DFJ revealed an "important event" and wrote: "Prices will yield another wave up beyond today's high, and the stage will be set for a week's long advance." Cattle prices followed the Elliott Wave script to the T-bone. Now, the new "Wrap-up" shows where to steak out the next opportunity.
Crude Oil Connection: When oil prices rocketed 6% on April 9, the mainstream cited one main reason: "Oil Rises As Stocks Surge." It's a familiar claim, except that it doesn't hold water. Check It: The DJIA peaked in October 2007 -- nearly one entire year BEFORE oil prices hit their own July 2008 high. Get the objective details today.
Copper, Red Hot: In late 2008, copper prices had plummeted more than 70% in five months. And, as far as the mainstream was concerned, "copper's slump was here to stay" as the economic crisis took the wind out of the industrial metal's sails.
YET -- in mid-December 2008, copper prices began to RALLY, even as the U.S. stock market closed its worst year since the Great Depression. Will the 48% rise since then last? The new "Wrap-up" settles the score.
Believe it or not, that's just the tip of the scavenger hunt for opportunity. The April 9 Daily Futures Junctures "Weekly Wrap-up" presents labeled price charts and timeless details on a over a dozen more markets.
