Grains: Has the Trend Changed?
EWI's Daily Futures Junctures reveals whether the moves up in soybeans, wheat, and corn will last
By Nico Isaac

The commodity grain complex has endured more recent setbacks than the Herman Cain campaign. In September alone, Soybean prices plunged 20% in the biggest rout in three years, while the 23% fall in corn prices was the steepest since at least 1959. But on November 21, the grain pain turned to gains when soybeans, corn, and wheat enjoyed a synchronized surge to one-week highs. So the million dollar question is: Will the northward trend continue?

The Elliott Wave Principle recognizes 13 known wave patterns on the price charts of financial markets. Some of these fall into the category I like to call "Casserole" patterns; meaning they develop at an easy rate that affords enough time for the analyst to walk away from his/her desk and dawdle with other things, like preparing an elaborate casserole. The other category is the "Canned Soup" patterns.

Futures Junctures editor Jeffrey Kennedy takes the time to explain the significance of a contracting triangle wave pattern that's unfolding in Soybean Oil futures.

But, according to some experts, the worst is finally behind commodities. Now, you can see if they're right at absolutely no cost via EWI's Futures Junctures FreeWeek.

"When stocks are falling, commodities come calling." So goes the mainstream mantra that hails hard assets as safe havens during equity declines. But, for anyone who followed this strategy in September 2011, the outcome was far from fruitful.

This time last year, coffee prices were about as hot as Anthony Wiener’s now defunct political career. In June 2010, the market was scraping the bottom near $1.30/pound. AND, according to the mainstream experts, a very bearish supply picture should have kept coffee's cards stacked against it. Here, the following news headlines from May-June 2010 say plenty (emphasis added)...

Stock markets, for instance, are often like Volvos: purring along with smooth, steady dependability. Commodities are like Vipers: peeling rubber from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds and curve-hugging along the way. But when you put the Wave Principle "behind the wheel" of stocks, commodities or any other liquid, freely-traded financial market, it surpasses other traditional forms of technical analysis.

May-June is not summer, nor is it spring. It's the unofficial "fifth" season, known to many as "Wedding" season. And, after months of will-she, won't-she speculation, the date has finally been set: The commodity sector will walk down the aisle to meet her long-awaited groom. The question is -- Will he take the diamond ring out of his nose (i.e., Bull) or from his paw (i.e., Bear)?
