Commodity Prices move too far and too fast over the next 4- 8 weeks they may not be able to sustain their rapid recovery. With that said, if they do continue to show a steady improvement and not over shoot their sustainble support level we may will see them hold very nicely through to the Fall. One stipulation on this is the various Government Stimulus Plans and how smoothly they kick into effect. An added steadying factor will be smooth and continuous progress in terms of Proper Regulation of Credit Markets and Banking Systems. With the new Demand/NEED for Residental Appartment Accomidations (for the Masses failing to have their Home Mortgages renewed, lol), even the private Residential Construction Industry in the US is showing some very decent Improvement. Interesting how new demand rises from existing Gluts!
