With the recent sell off in the US dollar and Treasuries it appears investors are putting risk assets back to work in securities and commodities. A further 1.4% appreciation today with prices in Crude fast approaching the early November highs. On a settlement above $89 in January we should see a print in the mid $90′s in the next few weeks. Aggressive traders could lightly scale into longs in natural gas futures with stops below the recent lows. In the last two sessions the indices have gained 3-3.5%, the 20 day MA should support pullbacks. In the Dow at 11180 and the S&P at 1200.

An alternative play would be to get long futures and sell out of the money call options at a ratio 1:1. The metals are starting to look toppy…we suggest trailing stops and lightening up on longs as we could see a $1-1.50 depreciation in silver and $30-40 in gold. Continue to scale into longs in agriculture; whether it is corn, soybeans or wheat. Buy dips in cocoa that hold the recent lows…we should see some back and fill action after the 4% pop today.
