Commodity Trading Videos

In his video interview to Bloomberg, Jonathan Barratt of Sydney based Commodity Broking Services Pty Ltd says that rice is currently offers a good value compared to other grains and commodities. Having fallen significantly during last few months it can now become an alternative to the overpriced wheat, while the problems with the supply will also help drive the price of rice upward. The combination of the bullish factors will also be complemented by the investment funds searching for a next rally in the commodity market.

This 2-part video features Jonathan Baratt talking about how to trade soft commodities (those that are grown, such as sugar, cocoa, coffee, cotton, orange juice, etc.) He uses the live trading sessions to demonstrate how the actual trading can be done and what should you worry about when dealing with softs.

This video presents a technical analysis of various commodity futures based on the popular Ichimoku Kinko Hyo trend indicator. Commodities from agriculture to energies, to metals are reviewed to spot a possible trend direction for the current weekly trading session. If you are a technical trader, you’ll like this video as it’s quite educative in regard of the Ichimoku indicator.

In this interview, Jonathan Barratt of Commodity Broking Services Pty Ltd talks about how wheat has already reached its highest levels for the years as the funds were guided by the fear of droughts, lack of export and other speculative drivers. Meanwhile the real fundamentals suggest that the wheat shouldn’t be appreciating as it has been doing before.

Judging from the chart’s structure and Japanese candlestick patterns, the author of this commodity forecast video offers his vision of the future of gold trading. The bottom formed last week was a pivotal point on the daily chart. It’s a lower low that’s usually followed by lower high. Traders may expect a top to form somewhere between $1,215.00 and $1,235.00, before the gold will be able to decline farther.

The author of this commodity trading video sees a shorting opportunity in the ongoing rally in the wheat market. He uses techniques developed by Larry Williams to prove his point and offer some basic trading plan to you. The whole analysis is based on a few simple technical chart indicators.

Michael Hewson of CMC Markets speaks about the confirmation of the so called “death cross” in the broad commodity index chart. It’s a cross of the 50-day moving average below 100-day moving average. The pattern was followed by the bearish trend 3 times out of 4 during the last 10 years. The ”death cross” pattern is also confirmed by the head-and-shoulders pattern on the weekly chart of the commodity index.

In this video interview Jonathan Barratt talks about the future of the soft commodities. He’s making an emphasis on the sugar as an extremely volatile commodity, which continues jumping up and down both in long- and short-term perspectives. Jonathan also talks about the macroeconomic uncertainties that spur the speculative rallies in some of the low-volume commodities with some potential problems with supply, namely rubber.

This video presents a rather optimistic view on the gold and silver future growth, suggesting a continuation of the bullish trend and setting of the new record high levels. It operates with the fundamental on the production and technical data in a form of the long-term charts. The author of the video also suggests that the Australian stock market may also benefit from the rising commodity prices (and especially gold).

James Hughes of CMC Markets speaks about the moving average cross forming in the commodity index chart. It has a potential of a signal for the further decline of the commodities. The index itself has already crossed the 200-day moving average from above, forming a strong bearish wave. But a bearish cross of 200-, 100- and 50-day moving averages would confirm the pessimistic analysis.
