In the world of fundamental market analysis, inconsistency exists all the time. The reason being, mainstream analysts use external events to determine the near-term trend in financial markets. Their interpretation of the events is always changing, and so the outlook is always changing, too. Take, for instance, the pair of news items regarding lean hog futures found in today's article.

For Elliott wave analysts, 5 is the magic number. The 5-wave structure is one of the bedrocks of this market-forecasting method. Its rules and guidelines help you determine the depth and duration of developing waves. If you stay its course, the 5-wave form will lead you, like a hound dog leads a hunter, straight to opportunity.

Over the last three months, lean hog prices have gone from “commodity on fire” – TO – commodity in the fire-roasting pit of a 15-month low.

Well, today I’m sitting down with someone who did: EWI’s chief commodity analyst and Futures Junctures Service editor Jeffrey Kennedy.

Since soaring to multi-decade highs in mid-2011, the commodity sector as a whole has had the wind knocked out of its bullish sails. To wit: from its April 2011 peak, the bellwether Continuous Commodity Index (CCI) has plunged 20% to its lowest level in four months. The question is: will commodity prices keep falling? Well, according to the mainstream experts -- YES -- and, just as equally, NO.

According to mainstream analysis of financial markets, root causes called "fundamentals" give rise (or fall) to turns in the market's price trend. But in reality, all too often changes in price happen first. Then, the mainstream experts swoop in and try to quickly adjust "fundamentals" to fit price action -- after the fact. This often creates a flurry of mixed information where the theme of one news story is quickly contradicted by the next. Enter: Soybeans!

Is That A Megaphone In Your Sugar Chart?
EWI's Daily Futures Junctures identifies a rare chart pattern in sugar that sends a very exciting message

Right now, there are two big "fundamental" stories competing for the spotlight in sugar; the operative word here being "competing." They are: the bullish event of adverse weather in Brazil. AND, the bearish event of India approving one million MORE tonnes of sugar exports. With such differing reports, how does one decide which way sugar prices will go? Well, according to a March 28 Reuters, you don't.

Wheat Beat: Impending Breakdown?
EWI's Daily Futures Junctures warned of wheat's recent decline amidst the bullish chorus.

If you had checked the mainstream financial "weather" report regarding the wheat market since March 16, the forecast would have shown a huge satellite image of an impending bullish storm. In the words of one March 16 Reuters: "The wheat market is bullish in general. With Chicago's performance, it's difficult for us to fall." Yet -- FALL is exactly what wheat prices did.

Commodity Focus: Raise Your Cup to Coffee
EWI's Daily Futures Junctures' coffee chart shows a clear Elliott wave triangle pattern underway
By Nico Isaac

Over the past week, coffee prices have been doing the dreaded dance of the typewriter ribbon: i.e., go sideways, sideways, sideways -- and STOP. Ding! Go back to the beginning -- and, repeat. During these times, it's common to see the mainstream financial experts adopt one of two approaches: "Fence-sitting," or "waiting-and-seeing." So you can imagine my excitement when today, EWI's chief commodity analyst and Futures Junctures Service editor Jeffrey Kennedy explained why coffee's sideways price action is actually a GREEN light to an opportunity in this commodity market.

Over the last two years, the coffee market has experienced two, major long-term trend changes. First, from its June 2010 bottom, coffee prices embarked on a powerful rally to their highest level in 34 years. Then, from its May 2011 peak, prices turned down in the southern rout we see today. See exactly how EWI's Futures Junctures Service editor Jeffrey Kennedy has stayed one step ahead of coffee's biggest turns.
