Sector Commentary
Agriculturals/Softs: Ideal weather conditions in the Midwest led to a decline in corn prices. In the softs markets, forecasts of elevated demand, especially from several Middle Eastern and Asian nations, resulted in sharp gains in the sugar markets. Sugar prices finished nearly 30% over the previous month’s close. Concerns regarding the state of the global economy weighed on livestock prices as investors liquidated positions.
Currencies: The Great British pound rallied as higher-than-expected retail sales figures and several positive economic indicators bolstered the outlook for the UK economy. Also supporting the pound were beliefs Great Britain’s new government would be able to develop policy to solidify the economy. The Japanese yen strengthened against counterparts as investors sought more risk-averse positions due to ongoing concerns over the US and EU economies.
Energy: Natural gas prices rose in excess of 6% due to abnormally high temperatures across the U.S. Also adding to the rally in natural gas were supply concerns stemming from forecasts of a very active hurricane season in the Gulf of Mexico for 2010. Crude oil prices rallied as weakness in the U.S. dollar and Energy Information Administration reports calling for higher future demand supported prices.
Equities: Global equity markets generally declined as weak economic indicators and ongoing debt concerns weighed on the outlook for the global economy. Additionally, the equity markets were driven lower by news of fiscal instability in Hungary and by Fitch’s downgrading of BNP Paribas, SA, one of the Eurozone’s largest banks.
Fixed Income: The U.S. Treasury markets advanced due to weaker-than-expected U.S. housing data and speculation of additional Chinese purchases of U.S. debt would increase. Downturns in the equity markets also played a role in moving fixed-income prices higher as investors sought less volatile investments.
Metals: Investors attempted to hedge European currency exposures, driving the price of gold higher by nearly 3%. In the base metals markets, a combination of a weaker economic outlook for China and short-term strength in the US dollar put pressure on industrial metals, moving prices lower.

David Kavanagh
