T & K Futures and Options Inc. Predicts $1100 Gold Futures Prices in 2009

T & K Futures and Options Inc. Predicts $ 1100 Gold Futures Prices in 2009

Port St. Lucie, FL (PRWEB) February 4, 2009

“Gold is considered by many investors to be a safe haven and an inflationary hedge in times of economic turmoil”. Gold is also considered to be a type of insurance to protect against weakening currency valuations. Recent large fluctuations in many of the world’s major currencies has pushed many investors to purchase physical gold, gold futures and options and gold ETFs to shelter them from currencies that are becoming worth less and less.

The current global economic problems have forced many nations to cut interest rates which often leads to weakened currency valuations. In the US record low rates and the printing of money should lead from the deflationary environment that is currently affecting the United States and the rest of the world to a hyper inflationary cycle. These record low interest rates should weaken the US Dollar even more and commodity prices are dollar denominated. If the US Dollar continues to weaken these US dollar denominated commodity markets may be pushed much higher. Energy futures, grain futures and the precious metal futures are especially susceptible to the inflationary pressures of a weakening US Dollar. Weak currencies and higher commodity prices may soon follow. Visit http://www.tkfutures.com/education.htm to learn more about the precious metals futures and options markets as well as other commodity markets.

Some countries and especially China are buying physical gold instead of US Treasuries. This lack of faith in the US Dollar by many nations may lead to even more hoarding of precious metals such as gold and silver. This may also lead to a massive selling influx of US treasury bills, notes and bonds. The selling of treasuries is in effect a selling or deleveraging of the US Dollar. This may also help to push gold futures prices higher this year. Visit http://www.tkfutures.com/research.htm to learn more about the most recent supply and demand news pertaining to gold futures and gold options.

Gold ETF investing may also help push gold futures prices higher as investors flee the stock and real estate markets. These exchange traded funds are mostly long only meaning that an investor can only bet on higher gold prices and not short the gold markets or bet on lower gold prices. These funds are required to offset their various gold ETF purchases by investors with either the purchase of physical gold or the purchase of the appropriate number of long gold futures contracts. This may also help push gold futures prices higher during 2009. Visit http://www.tkfutures.com/gold.htm to learn more about gold futures and options trading.

The author of this article is a 15 year veteran of the gold futures and options markets and the president of T & K Futures and Options, Inc. Gold futures and options trading carries substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for many investors. Only risk capital should be used for this type of investment.

T & K Futures and Options Says Use Sell Offs in Commodity Prices to Get Long.

T & K Futures and Options Says Use Sell Offs in Commodity Prices to Get Long.

Port St. Lucie, FL (PRWEB) January 19, 2011

Commodities have been on a tear recently as the second round of quantitative easing will most likely cause inflation sooner or later. Investors have been flocking to the dollar denominated commodity markets to hedge against currency and inflation risk. This commodity bull market may last for many years and price declines can be used as an opportunity to enter the long term commodity bull market.

Many commodities have made historic highs as the U.S. dollar continues to depreciate versus other major currencies. The recent rise in commodity futures prices has been fast and volatile and is due for a significant pull back. Massive profit taking from investors who have been long the futures in these markets has already begun and is bringing commodity prices back to more fair values. Visit http://www.tkfutures.com/basics.htm to learn more.

Cotton futures prices have doubled recently and are beginning to correct. Coffee, cocoa and sugar futures prices hit record highs recently and are beginning to correct. Gold and silver are selling off from record highs and may correct even more. Grain futures prices may also run out of momentum to the upside and the current sell off may continue for a few more weeks. Any prolonged decrease and consolidation in futures prices can be used by investors to buy into the inflationary bull market which may be coming soon for many commodities. Visit http://www.tkfutures.com/education.htm to learn more about futures and options trading.

The author of this article is a 17 year veteran of the futures and options markets and the president of T & K Futures and Options, Inc. Futures, options and foreign exchange products carry significant risk of loss and only risk capital should be used. Past performance is not indicative of future results.

“Let Them Eat Cake” ? Wheat prices still on the rise, Commodity Options Trading

Drought and fires last month in Russia resulted in the biggest one month rally since 1972.

Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT) wheat for September delivery broke through the -a-bushel level in US trade for the first time since September 2008, before falling back to .93. Prices have risen 50% since late June.

Russia was the world’s fourth largest wheat exporter in the 12 months to June behind the US, the EU and Canada, according to the US Department of Agriculture. And along with other former Soviet Republics such as Kazakhstan, it accounted for about 25% of the world’s wheat exports last year.

Concerns are growing that the rise will lead to a drastic increase in prices of flour-related products such as bread and biscuits worldwide.

Price increase in the French country

The French baking industry lies at the end of the wheat marketing chain. According to some bakers, the price of flour has already risen 25 percent since the onset of the wheat price increase. However, the price of a baguette in France has not yet risen. The basic indicator remains at 90 centimes; but an increase of about 20 to 30 percent is expected in coming weeks.

As a result, France may be planning to organize a meeting of agriculture ministers from Group of 20 countries to discuss price volatility in agricultural commodities.

Price increase in Israel

In Israel the price of bread including the price of traditional Jewish bread is regulated by the government as lead the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor to raise the price of bread as a result of the rise in the price of wheat during August.

Supervisor of Prices Zvia Dori said that the calculation for the cost of bread inputs showed a rise of 3.62%. If the cost of inputs is higher than 3%, the price of price-controlled bread is raised.

Minister of Industry, Trade and Labor Benjamin Ben-Eliezer instructed Dori to raise the price of bread only after holidays. He said, “There are many poor families in Israel, and we should avoid, as far as possible, from putting an additional financial burden on them during the Jewish holiday season.”

In early August, the Ministry of Trade raised the price of bread by 3.55% because of the rise in global wheat prices. The ministry cut the price of bread three times during 2009, and raised them once. The upcoming price hike will return bread prices to their level of 2008.

Meat and corn products to follow wheat prices

Russia’s biggest meat producer Cherkizovo (CHEq.L) said on Tuesday that prices are set to rise. “The rise of meat prices this year is unavoidable. We hope that the situation will be limited to 10-15 percent … by the end of the year,” Cherkizovo’s chief executive officer Sergei Mikhailov told the Reuters Russia Investment Summit on Tuesday.

Benchmark wheat prices and now livestock producers are likely to pass on the higher cost of feeding their animals to consumers.

In addition, this upward trend has been sustained by a demand from Asia and from the Middle East for both beef and lamb,” said Pedro Arias, a livestock economist at the FAO in Rome, echoing a widely held view in the industry. “But the traders have not been able to satisfy that demand because herds have been curtailed

The UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s index of meat prices rose in August to its highest level since 1990, up 16 per cent over the past year, after lamb prices hit a 37-year high, beef prices climbed to a two-year high and the cost of pork and poultry prices rose.

Wheat prices rose to their highest level in about two years in August after Russia banned exports of the commodity while corn is continuing to climb, hitting the highest level in nearly two years on Monday.The possibility of introducing grain export control by Moscow would only lead to additional price hikes.

Global wheat production looks set to fall this year but a rise in stocks following the two largest wheat harvests in history in 2008 and 2009 should help to keep a lid on volatile prices hikes.

“Global grain stocks are actually at relatively comfortable levels having been built up following record harvests over the past two years, and this should allay fears of an outright food scare,” Jonathan Blake, manager of the Baring Global Agriculture Fund said on Tuesday.

You can trade wheat index through binary options commodity options and receive a payout of up to 81% on one trade. Give it a try.

Best option spread amount between strike prices?

Question by Procto-Boy: Best option spread amount between strike prices?
I am new to trading spreads. I know how they work, but
Is there an optimal spread amount (between strike prices) for selling put credit spreads? I know you collect more premium when the spread is wider, though it takes more money to open. I’ve heard it’s better to keep the prices close together (within maybe $ 5 of each other). But in this case, you collect less premium. Is a wider spread riskier and/or more profitable?
