        In this last column for the year 2011, I would like to pay attention to West Texas Intermediate (WTI) oil. A picture illustrates more than a thousand words. So I added monthly, weekly and daily (spot) charts. Note that these charts are derived from the ‘front month’ futures prices, so the charts might deviate a bit from the actual (spot) prices in the past. Nevertheless, for illustration purposes, these charts give us a good insight of the price development of WTI oil.

        In this edition of my column I would like to put lumber into the spotlight. A commodity like oil is a good indicator of the state of the economy, but perhaps the price developments of random length lumber futures can give us also a clue as to where the economy is heading. Random Length Lumber futures are traded on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), with the ticker symbol LB. A graph of the price development is shown below.

      <![CDATA[
        Europe is still suffering a severe debt crisis, with Greece playing a leading role. In February, I wrote that it would be highly doubtful whether European countries (and the European currency) would recover from their own 'Greek tragedy' soon. Eight months later, the euro is trading at $1.32 versus almost $1.37 in February after reaching a high of $1.48 in May.

      <![CDATA[
        Last week, gold surpassed the $1900 barrier as investors feared a recession. The European and American debt crisis also weighed heavily on global markets. Although the outlook for the markets remains uncertain, some green shoots can be seen like the strengthening of the Baltic Dry Index (BDI).

      <![CDATA[
        With the oil market being in the doldrums - suffering sideways markets - trending markets like Sugar might nowadays offer better investing or trading opportunities. This week sugar surged to a fresh new high of $31.33 cent per pound (cent/lb) for this month. Since beginning of May, Sugar has risen more than 50% from a level of $20.40.
