Commodities

💡 What these signals tell you

• Gold rises during inflation fears, currency debasement, and geopolitical risk. The 50d/200d MA cross is a common momentum signal.
• Silver moves with both gold (precious) and copper (industrial). Higher beta than gold — bigger swings up and down.
• Crude oil tracks global growth and OPEC+ policy. Brent–WTI spread reflects shipping arbitrage; widens during Middle East stress.
• Nat gas is highly seasonal (winter heating) and volatile. Spikes during supply shocks (e.g. 2022 Europe crisis).
• "Dr Copper" — its price reflects global manufacturing demand. Falling copper while gold rises = recession signal.
• V scores how cheap a price is against its own last 5 and 10 years of weekly closes (100 = cheaper than every week). It ranks the price within its past; it is not a fair value. Prices are nominal and are Yahoo's spliced front-month futures, so read the rank between commodities more than the level.
• The technical check-up reads each contract’s completed daily sessions with the rules on its card: MA5/10/20 alignment, the never-chase bias against MA5, MACD and RSI, scored out of 100. Volume is left out for futures, and the series is Yahoo’s spliced front-month, so a roll can look like a jump. It is a reading of the chart, not a forecast and not advice.
• Agricultural commodities depend on weather, plantings, and trade flows. Wheat especially sensitive to geopolitics.
