Vadim Pokhlebkin: Jeffrey, the latest reports show that commodities are “headed for a third quarterly drop, the longest losing streak since 2001, as demand for raw materials from crude oil to nickel shrank..."

Sentiment is the filter through which traders evaluate everything they know and think about a market. Optimistic traders easily accept bad news and focus on the positives. Pessimistic traders dismiss past successes and focus on fears instead. It's a timely observation, too – because sentiment in Sugar futures happens to be pretty optimistic right now.

Market sentiment is a curious thing. A measure of investors' bias towards a particular trend, if you plot it on a chart, you will see that it shifts from extreme optimism to extreme pessimism and back again. And each extreme in sentiment usually coincides with a similar extreme in price. Look at this chart of one particular meat commodity market, for example.

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.
