What Inflation?

Inflation, what inflation? Natural gas is down over 38% the last 12 months. That doesn't count for anything? The rest of the commodities are barely making up for it!

Fat Fingers in the Chocolate!

Talk about fat fingers. Look at the Cocoa futures chart yesterday.



Futures go down close to $500 in 15 minutes and back up $400 in the next 15 minutes! At $10 a point, a costly or profitable 30 minutes. I am sure the CFTC will be investigating! Oh wait, they are being defunded by Congress...

Wheeeeeeat!

Food inflation resolved... All the grain futures have been hit in the last couple of days, but none worse than wheat.




Wheat is now down for the year after a $200 round trip! At $50 a point, some nice money was made or lost...
