Mission

A Peak Under The Hood will be dedicated to providing unique insights into macro topics happening around the world and how these topics may affect financial markets. We will try to provide an entertaining, but informative blog, on subjects ranging from Real Estate, Mortgage Markets, Commodities, Major Stock Indexes, Bonds, and Select Trading Ideas. Our site will contain original posts, charts and also include opinions from outside investors and reporters who furnish original thoughts. We will attempt to dig deeper than what can be found on major network financial news outlets and it is our hope that you will continue to visit the site as we provide intelligent analysis that may be counter intuitive to mainstream ideas.

Commodities

Commodities all follow cycles of consolidation, boom, and bust. When looking at them as a whole it can be hard to tell when tops occur. But when you start to break down individual markets you will notice that many of our commodities like Sugar, Wheat, Cotton and the like have already topped out in Feb of this year while others like gold silver and oil are still printing higher highs. This divergence is telling you that the commodity markets are getting tired. More upside may be coming in some of the tardiest sectors but at one point in the future all will start to correct. This is the bust cycle and it is typically strong in commodities. I do not expect it to be any different this time.
