The Bloomberg commodity index $BCOM is breaking down, approaching fresh 52-week lows.
Somehow Gold and Copper didn’t get the memo. They must be too busy printing new highs.
But when we review other major commodity indexes (including our own equal-weight index of 33 individual contracts), they look poised to roll over.

So long, 2022. It’s been real.
With only a few trading hours left in the year, I’m ready to turn the page. I’m sure plenty of you can relate.

He’s amazing.
Yes, I’m one of those proud, doting fathers. But his coordination and acrobatics keep both of us out of the pediatric ER (and me, the doghouse). He pops right up whenever he hits the ground and keeps chasing his older brother.
Pure gold.
Since my mind is always lost in the charts, his agility and doggedness remind me of gold’s resilience during the past two years.

Not only are commodities losing their leaders, but the leaders are losing their former 2018 highs.
Heating oil futures just posted their lowest level since February. Meanwhile, gasoline and crude have printed fresh year-to-date lows, taking out their prior cycle highs.
Now what?
Should we expect broad selling pressure to hit the commodity space?
