Don’t Blame Sugar’s Bear Market on a Glut in Supply
Monthly Futures Junctures used Elliott wave analysis instead of supply data to anticipate sugar's turn down from the February 2011 peak.

By Nico Isaac

According to conventional economic wisdom, the law of supply & demand applies to investor behavior in financial markets, meaning an excess in supply cause commodity prices to fall. Let’s take the recent price action in sugar. On March 25, sugar futures ended the day at their lowest level in two-and-a-half years. Point of fact, sugar futures have plummeted 50% since hitting a 30-plus year peak in February 2011.

Spring hasn't even arrived officially, yet some of us are already feeling the three "izies" of the season: hazy, fuzzy and dizzy. Yet it's not my hay fever that has my teeth on edge, but the suffocating cloud of mainstream financial news regarding long-term commodity trends.

Sugar Bowl Monday: Keep the Objective Lights Turned On
The Jan. 30 Daily Futures Junctures identifies an Elliott wave expanded flat underway in sugar.

When the Superdome lost half of its power as I watched the 47th Super Bowl this past Sunday, my mind drifted quickly to fundamental analysis of financial markets. The connection is obvious once you think about it: Using fundamentals to illuminate near-term trend changes of liquid markets is about as effective as playing football in a half-lit dome. One player can heave the ball (or market logic) into the air -- but nobody can see it well enough to make the catch.

Will the Long & Winding Commodities Road Lead Back to a Bull Market?
A brand-new, all digital Monthly Futures Junctures presents video analysis of the next big moves in 10 key futures markets -- plus two ETF's and the S&P 500.

By Nico Isaac

If the year 2012 had a theme song for key commodity markets, it could be the Beatles' "Long and Winding Road" -- emphasis on the word "winding." And, according to a recent Bloomberg News article, the disjointed efforts among futures put a major crimp in the idea that the trend is your friend. But for EWI's chief commodity analyst and Futures Junctures Service editor Jeffrey Kennedy, there is no such thing as a "lack of a trend."

Upcoming Trade Set-Up in Cotton: How Contracting Triangles Precede Dramatic Thrusts in Price
A lesson in forecasting dramatic price reversals in real time using contracting triangles

By Nico Isaac
12/28/2012 4:00:00 PM

Schoolchildren may be out for the winter break, but class is always in session here at Elliott Wave International. On the syllabus for today is the Elliott wave pattern known as the contracting triangle – and a developing trade set-up in cotton. It goes without saying that, because contracting triangles precede the final wave of a sequence, they make for ideal trade set-ups to position for the powerful thrusts that follow. This reliable trait of triangles makes them a favorite among technical traders.

The Elliott Wave Principle recognizes 13 distinct Elliott wave patterns that unfold in the price charts of financial markets. My personal favorite -- along with most Elliotticians -- is the third wave. The reason being: Imagine a giant, 400-pound gorilla. Now, imagine King Kong. That is the 3rd wave in comparison to most other Elliott wave patterns. See the "wonder" of this wave pattern in the real world price action of sugar.

"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
8/17/2012 4:00:00 PM

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?

Is That A Megaphone In Your Sugar Chart?
EWI's Daily Futures Junctures identifies a rare chart pattern in sugar that sends a very exciting message

By Nico Isaac
3/29/2012 4:45:00 PM

Right now, there are two big "fundamental" stories competing for the spotlight in sugar; the operative word here being "competing." They are: the bullish event of adverse weather in Brazil. AND, the bearish event of India approving one million MORE tonnes of sugar exports. With such differing reports, how does one decide which way sugar prices will go? Well, according to a March 28 Reuters, you don't.

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.
