Trading volatile commodity markets can be quite challenging, but at Market Inflections we employ a software application which helps to identify when trends are about to begin and end.
This summer our trading software generated notable signals on both Coffee and Wheat futures which leads us to the conclusion that it’s time to put on “the Breakfast Trade.”
The chart of each signal is provided below as well as our analysis and commentary:
Coffee futures (on left) / Wheat futures (on right)
Coffee: In September 2016, our market timing software generated a Minor Sell signal on the weekly chart of the Coffee Futures Contract. After a 35% plunge, in June 2017 a buy signal triggered which suggests that Coffee should rally through December 2017.
Wheat: In late June, our market timing software generated a top signal on the weekly chart of the Wheat Futures Contract. Within the next six weeks, Wheat lost 30% of its value until two buy signals triggered earlier this month. These bottom signals are statistically significant through January 2018.
