“Death Cross” Confirmation in Commodities

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.

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).

“Death Cross” of Moving Averages over Commodity Recovery

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.
