On the current random view to Commodities, Gold as XAU/USD and XAU/JPY trade deeply overbought. Cocoa trades massive overbought from the Softs. The speculation is the remainder category as USD Coffee, Orange Juice and Sugar also trade overbought alongside DXY.
The problem to downside moves for Commodities is DXY traded 105.00 to 106.00 for the past 3 weeks and 103.00 to 106.00 for the prior 4 weeks. Import and Export lines as all Commodities trades fairly neutral. DXY at 106.00's trades dead center from the drop from 114.00's to 99.00's. A DXY move is required to force Commodities to trade to at least neutral from severe overbought.
Cocoa is a big mover under wide wide ranges while Gold and XAU will trade extremely slow. Most vital Commodities to the world are Oil, Wheat, Corn, Soybeans and Coffee. All are big movers and trade wide ranges. The abundance of the Wheat supply is located in Ukraine. Copper is important because Copper is Steel. Demand for Copper assumes Manufacturing and Building construction.
The currency is the primary mover to Commodity prices followed by Inflation and Interest rate changes. Seen from Commodities are great trades from overbought rather than long term trades or Super cycles however the current view is cursory. A DXY Correlation will reveal if long term trades exist. Placement of Import and Export lines will serve as backdrops to the assessments.
