This week, we took a step back and looked at the markets in groups. We focused on the metal and meat markets in general while only discussing specifically, a soybean meal trade.
Re-Shuffling the Metal Markets which we wrote for TraderPlanet focused on the growing commercial trader position in the precious metals. There's no question they've been big buyers on the recent decline and their total positions are controlling a larger percentage of open interest with each additional contract they buy.
Tuesday, we wrote, Soybean Meal Futures Set to Climb for Equities.com. Currently, this trade is still negative. Fortunately, our risk is only down to last Friday's low of $324.1 per ton.

We ended the week with a broad outline of the interaction between commercial traders and seasonal analysis in hogs and cattle. We featured the current seasonal charts by Moore Research and combined them with our own Commitment of Traders charts to demonstrate effectiveness of these tools when combined.
