Base Metal Prices May be at a Turning Point

Gold futures drop $36 in three days | www.marketwatch.com
Base metal prices have been somewhat bearish as of late as have other commodity prices such as oil and gas. Speculators often react and overreact to daily news items forcing large swings in commodity pricing. However the greatest real effect on commodity prices will be whether Chinese buyers come back strong following the Olympics in August.

Traditional Future Metal Price Analysis is for the Birds

Survey of Forecasts (of Metal Prices) | www.recycling-magazine.com
As published in Recycling Magazine Feb 2007, “Survey of Forecasts”, basemetals.com compiled price predictions of 22 analysts. These analysts are paid researchers that spend their time analyzing the metal markets. In order to determine the price prediction, in this case in one year, the analyst compiles the list of facts he desires, and computes in a formula and possibly graph detail where the price will be in a predetermined time period. All the facts are available to all the analysts, yet each come up with a different result. This may be because of the weighting factor each one uses for their determination. Or, an analyst may throw caution to the wind and make a prediction on his intuition. But, I believe, we have entered a new era of pricing that is much less predictable because of the investment community.
