"U.S. soybean futures fell Monday, pressured by favorable weather for South American soy crops. ...soybeans settled down $15.27 1/4 a bushel, a more than one-week closing low." -- (The Wall Street Journal, Oct. 29.) As it's often the case, Elliott wave patterns called for a weakness in soybeans long before the news about Brazil's crop.

The Outlook for Commodities: Big Wave Patterns Portend Big Price Moves
EWI’s August 2012 print-and-video Monthly Futures Junctures reveals the long-term trend underway in key commodities

By Nico Isaac

Over the past year, the once across-the-board commodities bull market has become a very specific commodities “Boll” market. To wit: The only sector that has actually held onto its uptrend has been grains. For this very reason, the #1 question among commodities investors is this: Are grains the rising tide that will eventually lift the other boats: softs, foods, livestock and meats? OR -- or grains the “rogue” wave that will come crashing down on the entire commodities complex?

Commodities: "Simple" Elliott Does The Trick
Even basic Elliott wave analysis can put you miles ahead of other traders. Today's focus: lean hog futures

By Vadim Pokhlebkin
9/14/2011 3:30:00 PM

Vadim Pokhlebkin: Jeffrey, I don't think I'm alone in saying that whatever the problem, I prefer simple solutions. Now, you use Elliott wave analysis on commodities every day, and I've seen you make it both simple and complex. Which approach do you think is more effective? -- Jeffrey Kennedy: It depends. When the chart picture is not easy to recognize as any specific Elliott wave pattern, it forces you to "make it complicated" by using additional technical analysis tools. But let's look at a very recent example...

Lately, the financial media has followed around the commodities sector like paparazzi pursues celebrities, tweeting: "OMG! Sugar soars to 30-year high," and "Grain Prices Busted: Corn caught with other crop supply!" In fact, paparazzis do have something in common with the mainstream financial observers: They also focus on the "external" factors. Elliott wave analysis, on the other hand, doesn't look at the externals.

Over the past few weeks, several of the biggest "supernovas" in the commodity universe have turned into falling meteors. To wit: From their respective February peaks, the alleged "grain king," wheat, has plunged 12% while the food forerunner, sugar, has soured to a near two-month low. Here's your chance to find an answer to the question, "Is this reversal just a brief detour on the way to higher highs?"

Commodities: October Was "The Worst." What About November?
Bear markets are not "bad" – they are a natural part of the market cycle.

By Vadim Pokhlebkin
11/5/2008 6:30:00 PM

On October 31, Bloomberg.com reported that, "Commodities had the biggest monthly drop since at least 1956..." last month. The CRB index, which includes 19 commodities, fell 23% in October, with "Crude oil…set for a record monthly drop, copper its biggest retreat in two decades and gold its worst performance in 25 years." Does it get better from here? For some answers, we turn to Jeffrey Kennedy, editor of Elliott Wave International's Futures Junctures Service.

Commodity Futures: Quick Lesson in Chart Analysis
Remember: Diagonal Triangles are ending Elliott wave patterns.

By Vadim Pokhlebkin
10/27/2008 6:30:00 PM

Diagonal Triangles typically form in a fifth wave position of an impulse. The Elliott Wave Principle* book says they appear when the market has gone "too far, too fast." The key thing to remember about them is that they are ending patterns. Because they signal the end of the larger trend, they often ignite volatile moves that quickly retrace the entire preceding wave pattern. This is the Diagonal Triangle I see forming in Soybean Meal right now, on a 45-minute chart...

Soybean Meal: The Stage Is Set

It’s just my opinion, but the popular “take” on why futures markets do what they do sounds less and less like the wise and steady Owl AND more like the chicken with its head cut off. Harsh? Well, you be the judge. The following May 14 news stories on Soybean Meal say more than enough...

Soybean Meal: You Don't Want To Miss Next Wave
How do you know WHERE a wave 2 correction may end and give way to wave 3, the most powerful wave?

By Vadim Pokhlebkin
4/9/2008 6:00:00 PM

By applying this rule of Elliott in your trading, you always know the exact price point where your "wave two" is no longer a wave two. Which means that you always know the exact price point where to place your stop-loss – a cornerstone of proper risk management.

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.
