Several headwinds in the short-run but still long-term, structurally bullish on commodities:

At the end of the article, Evans-Pritchard says 'bonds beckon?'

I can see bonds in a hooded black monks habit beckoning with a bony finger while holding a scythe in his right hand. Bonds, the biggest last bubble.

Actually it was a good article. Similar to what Marc Faber fleshed out for us several months ago.

I see the price declines and I get all tingly inside. Oh but when to pounce?

In the meantime I'll just have to be happy with my investment in a Laotian vegatable plantation.

Wheat already might be called a bear market.

They've certainly been right not to fade these unlike some Embarassed

There's a view taking hold (and promulgated hard among the aussies) that once annual income in developing countries reaches about $2000 the pressure starts. S. Korea is the model and China is pushing this figure now.

Then there's the idea (mine) that huge overinvestment in commodity hungry industries (copper is an export) driven by provincial prejudices and the inefficient lock-downs by govts are triggering hoarding.....

That these markets took the Hedge liquidation these last two selloffs is impressive.

If it's hoarding and not infrastructure a la GKal then maybe the risks are on the other side.

BCA on the need to be more selective in the commodity space going forward:

http://www.bankcreditanalyst.com/public/story.asp?pre=PRE-20080220.GIF

Quote:
We believe that the structural uptrend is still intact: Supply responses to higher prices have been limited, demand from developing economies is robust, and investor interest in commodities as an “asset class” continues to grow. That said, we maintain our view that cyclical pressures will continue to cause commodity prices to churn in the coming months. Buying laggards makes sense in this environment as near-dated assets that have already suffered a shakeout should find support, while those that have gone vertical are at risk of correcting materially. We are looking to upgrade base metals once global growth expectations improve, and plan to downgrade precious metals once the reflation cycle becomes advanced. We recommend beginning by shorting silver on any additional strength.

BCA on energy plays:

Quote:
It is no surprise that energy service stocks have outperformed as oil prices have hit new highs. However, our Commodity & Energy Strategy service argues that these holdings should be resilient even if crude prices correct.

Still bullish on commodities in general but says to avoid housing-related commodities, such as copper and lumber:
