Commodity markets can provide interesting trading opportunities and returns. This panel of experts will explore key issues that informed commodity traders should be aware of when trading these exciting markets. Some of the issues covered will be:

  • What is a commodity super-cycle and are we at the beginning middle or end of it?
  • Is it possible the media's focus on inflation fanned the flames, and maybe even created a bit of a self-fulfilling prophecy?
  • How important is an understanding of term structures to investing and trading in the commodity markets?
  • How important is the dollar's role in commodity trading?
  • What are the important clues that the neglected oats market tells us about the grain market generally?
  • What is the difference between cryptocurrencies and gold and why does it matter?
  • Is crypto a commodity or a currency, and does crypto have a future?

These topics and more will provide you with a broad overview of trading commodity markets.


Stocks have soared since March but so too has gold, with both moving higher as the monetary authorities around the world have been, are now, and will in the future continue to be expansionary. Covid-19 and the recession have mandated these expansionary policies, and until there is a clear turnabout in both instances this expansionism will continue to gold's clear benefit. Join Dennis Gartman, editor and publisher of The Gartman Letter, L.C., to discover how the disinflation and/or outright deflation of the past several years shall disappear, and an inflation—especially in commodity prices—shall begin in earnest, sooner rather than later.

The world has gone mad—riots, rebellion, defunded police, arson, looting—who knew that these were all bullish of equities? Certainly, Dennis Gartman did not and nor do most discerning, mature, experienced investors. But the Fed and the other leading monetary authorities have been egregiously, preposterously, stunningly, shockingly, expansionary, and likely shall remain so for a very long while. So, we are to learn that fighting the Fed and the others is a mug's game, but it is a game in equities that Mr. Gartman prefers not playing.
