Finally the Bottom Commodities Up for First Time in Five Years Performance Dec +18 YTD +118 Spot +231 (returns are total return (TR) unless noted)
Commodities finally recovered in 2016 indicating global economic and inflation normalization Unfortunately it took a historic plunge below 10-year lows in many commodities for some relative value to prevail History may treat 2016 in the commodity market like 2009 in the stock market If so continued recovery in the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) total return up 118 on the back of a spot increase of 231 may come at the expense of some normalization in extended capital assets
Optimistic Industrial Metals Lead 2016 Gainers
Inflation and rising rates and bond yields have historically favored commodities and are preferred by most central banks If 2016 turns out to be just a dead-cat commodity bounce the risk is a return to the bad old days of zero interest rates and aggressive central bank stimulus
SECTOR PERFORMANCE
Industrial Metals Lead Make Good Companions With Higher Rates An industrial-metals-led commodity rally is typically synonymous with global economic growth and inflation -- also a potential indicator for further Federal
Reserve tightening Bucking continued strength in the dollar the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Subindexs 2016 increase of 199 is the first annual return of greater than 1 since 2010 and about double that of precious metals Industrial metals outperforming precious metals typically occurs before or is coincident with increasing yields
Some mean reversion appeared at play in most commodities Indicating potential longer-term bottoms energy recovered well before OPEC in November agriculturals rallied despite a record harvest and beaten-up industrials led metals
MACRO OUTLOOK
Commodities Poised to Keep Providing Accurate Macro Guidance The 2016 trend of higher commodities bond yields and stock prices may be difficult to sustain and is unlikely to be absent volatility The three moving higher in tandem is a good indicator for further Federal Reserve tightening Declining commodity prices and bond yields coincident with the first Fed tightening in 2015 were a good indication of a very slow pace contrary to consensus The broad commodity market should continue to rally if global economic growth and inflation are normalizing
Commodities Stocks Yields All Up - Tightening Go
If commodities continue to recover the extended bond market may be at greater risk of further mean reversion The lowest yields in history achieved in 2016 may be viewed as important a milestone as the yield peak 35

years ago The commodity market could be a primary indicator
The Road to Improving Roll Yields Paved With Flattening Curves Flattening futures curves indicate that high negative roll yields should improve At the end of 2016 the weighted sum of Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) one-year curves neared 3 in contango vs 8 at the end of 2015 Energy is the primary leader of flattening curves The sector was about 19 in contango to end 2015 and reached 25 in February resulting in a current energy roll yield of minus 32 Approaching the end of December the energy contango narrowed to about 5
Roll Yields Poised to Follow Flattening Curve
If the weighted sum of BCOM commodity futures curves stays near its levels at the end of 2016 the roll yield could drop toward minus 5 as it did into 2012 This analysis covers one-year curves so the actual roll-yield effect is more indicative Indexes typically roll to contracts a few months out
2016 May Be Reflection of 1980 as Commodities Lead Bond Yields Commodities may be leading bond yields The Thompson Reuters Commodity Index peaked in November 1980 and 10 months later so did US Treasury 10-year yields at a historic high of 157 This coincided with the change of US presidents to Ronald Reagan from Jimmy Carter and a corresponding change in economic focus This year appears to be more of the same at least in terms of a potential paradigm shift in US administrations In July 10-year yields bottomed six months after the BCOM which didnt exist in 1980
Commodities and Bonds 1979-81 and 2014-16
Time will tell if 2016s bottom in commodity prices and bond yields will continue on a long-term basis If history is a guide commodities appear to be in the drivers seat for reflation and economic normalization
Naughty and Nice in Tightening Cycles Stocks vs Commodities Since 1990 commodities have doubled the performance of stocks as the US economy entered cycles of sustained tightening The Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) averaged about a 24 total return in the past three tightening cycles almost 3x the SampP 500 gain In the last cycle (June 2004-June 2006) BCOM increased 28 vs 15 for the SampP 500 and added to its 90 total return of the two years prior vs about 40 for stocks Expectations are that a further tightening cycle is afoot
Commodities vs Stocks When Fed Tightens
At the end of 2016 the two-year return of the BCOM was down about 17 vs a 12 gain in the SampP 500 A reversal of the quantitative easing that extended the stock markets rally may leave it more vulnerable to Fed tightening risk than the beaten-up commodities market

CURVES amp FLOWS
The Good News About High Negative Roll Yields Positive Returns If history is any guide the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) could gain in 2017 after 2016s extreme negative roll yield In only three years has BCOMs annual gross roll yield ever exceeded minus 11 and each time it was followed by positive total returns The record roll yield was minus 22 in 2009 when total returns were 19 and then 17 in 2010 It was similar in 2005-06 when the BCOM roll yield exceeded minus 11 From the beginning of 2005 through 2007 the BCOM total return was 44
Strong Returns Often Follow High Minus-Roll Years
Steep contango conditions often result in high negative roll yields Curve shapes are forward looking while the resulting roll yield is a backward measure When roll yields have reached negative extremes theyve often signaled the market is ripe for mean reversion

BCOM 2016 Performance
Note PORT data for the BCOM is a rough approximation
Energy and Base Metals Are the Biggest Drivers of BCOM Return The 163 increase in the Bloomberg
Energy Subindex accounted for most of the Bloomberg Commodity Indexs 118 total return in 2016 adding about 730 bps Industrial metals the best-performing subindex with a 199 gain contributed about 260 bps to BCOM total returns Agriculture was basically flat and precious metals dropped back to contributing just over 30 bps after leading the index in 1H Brent crude was the single-largest contributor to the indexs total returns in 2016 adding about 220 bps
Heating oil and Zinc tied as the second-largest contributors to total returns both adding about 120 bps Livestock was the only sector that didnt contribute to BCOM positive returns These are estimates based on the PORT function

PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Fresh Off Life of Index Low the Energy Recovery May Take Awhile Prices and negative roll yields may have bottomed though the energy recovery could be protracted The Bloomberg Energy Subindex 2016 total return of 163 is the best since 21 in 2007 The recovery is still in early days since the February low Energy markets appear to have shifted from anticipating peak supply to potential peak demand In the current 10-year period the total return index underperformed spot by about 14 annualized compared with outperforming by 3 in the previous decade
Heating Oil Leads Energy Gainers in 2016
Indicating a potential longer-term bottom petroleum recovered in 2016 well before OPEC announced output cuts in November Sharply flattening futures curves reflect excess supply rebalancing and better days ahead from the negative 32 energy gross roll yield which was the highest since the 2008 crisis
Rising Prices at the Pump May Take A While to Reach Investors Up 479 in 2016 the Bloomberg Energy Spot Subindex surpassed 2009s 425 performance with potentially similar economic recovery implications High roll yield years like 2016 typically coincide with or are followed by positive total returns Natural gas was a middle of the road contributor to energys total returns with a 103 total return on a spot increase of 59 due to its generally steep contango and high negative roll yield If the 13-year crude oil futures low of $26 a barrel in February was the longer term bottom the 2016 mean price of $43 should be a good support level
Some reversion to the mean since crude oil prices plunged in 2014 from above $100 has been at play The two-year change indicates more potential to move toward
the mean Unleaded gas is down the least notably due to its history of flatter futures curves emphasizing the importance or total returns
ENERGY - CURVES amp FLOWS
Energy Futures Are Leading Commodities Back to Backwardation Indicating rebalancing normalization and improving total returns energy futures lead all commodities in shifting toward backwardation Natural gas with its one-year curve about 1 in backwardation at the end of 2016 (vs 23 at the end of 2015) followed by Brent crude heating oil and WTI crude topped 2016s shift away from the contango leader board Low prices appear to be a primary cause helping spur demand and deter production Natural gas is a prime example as heating electricity use and exports increase rapidly
Energy Leads Drive From Contango 1-Year Curves
Measured via the one-year futures spread as a percent of the first contract price Negative means the one-year out future is higher (contango) Positive means the one-year out future is lower (backwardation
The surge to new highs in crude oil futures open interest and managed-money net positions at the end of 2016 indicate a potential historic play on higher prices but may be vulnerable to some normalization Crude oil may be at risk of similar pullbacks as sugar gold and silver from earlier in 2016
Brent Futures Curve Flattening - Path to Improving Roll Yields Indicating a rebalancing market and improving roll yields the one-year Brent futures curve ended 2016 about 3 in contango the narrowest since October 2014 In January the Brent curve reached the steepest contango since the 2008 crisis at 26 There is plenty of incentive to store and sell forward crude for over 20 profit in a year less costs If historic trends are a guide Brent appears on the road back to backwardation which occurs when current futures trade higher than

backs
Brent Futures Curve at Narrowest in Two Years
The most extreme contango period in Brent futures coincided with the 2008 financial crisis Brent stayed in contango for 30 months December marked 29 months A Brent crude futures curve returning to backwardation might be a good indicator of OPEC resolve
ENERGY ndash OUTLOOK
On the Road to Improving Total Returns Plunging Energy Contango Energy commodities are likely to be range bound with improving roll yields in 2017 Flattening futures curves indicate improvement in high negative roll yields At the end of 2016 the weighted sum of BCOM energy one-year curves neared 5 in contango vs 19 at the end of 2015 Energy is the primary leader of BCOM flattening curves which reached 25 in February resulting in a yield of negative 32 The flattening energy futures curve was a leading indicator of recovering prices in 2016
Energy Roll Yields Set to Follow Flattening Curve
If the weighted sum of BCOM energy futures curves stays near its levels at the end of December the roll yield could drop toward negative 8 as it did into 2012 This
analysis covers one-year curves so the actual roll yield effect is more indicative Indexes typically roll to contracts a few months out

Metals May Be Back On Inflation or Not
PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Metals May Be a Primary 2017 Indication of Normalized Inflation If the strong performance of metals in 2016 is any indication that inflation is truly normalizing they could regain their historic role as primary beneficiaries and be key indicators in 2017 Metals increased 15 in 2016 led by the 199 gain in the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Subindex and the 95 increase in the precious metals index Industrial metals may have bottomed in 2016 after failing to produce an annual return of greater than 1 since 2010
Industrial Metals Make Play for Normalization
Signs of more Federal Reserve rate tightening and economic normalization should emanate from strength in industrial vs precious metals Gold the largest single weight in the Bloomberg Commodity Index should fulfill its traditional diversifier role if primary capital-asset performance disappoints
Economics Friendlier Industrial Metals Take Baton From Precious Spot silvers 16 increase vs golds 9 advance and industrial metals doubling the gains for precious metals in 2016 indicate a shift to the positive in global economic demand A continuation of this trend may be preferred by most who experienced the potential abyss of negative interest rates and extreme inflation-stimulative polices in 2016 Zinc up 575 in 2016 as measured by the Bloomberg Zinc Subindex and the years best-performing commodity has recovered 50 of the 2006-08 plunge
Copper and zinc have been best performers during tightening cycles Gold the worst-performing metal in 2016 may indicate divergent strength amid strong rallies in stocks and the US dollar Inflation and economic growth typically not bad for gold has been better for copper
METALS - CURVES amp FLOWS
A Copper Trough or Some Excessive Enthusiasm on Record Positions Combined open interest in CME and LME copper futures has surged to a record at the end of 2016 reflecting bullish trader sentiment Indicating potentially excessive enthusiasm meanwhile managed money combined long positions have leaped to all-time highs CME copper positions were about 18 above the previous high from 2010 -- shortly before copper peaked close to $460 a pound Extreme long positions well below that peak near $250 may need to be pared back before sustained price appreciation can occur
Surging Copper Open Interest amp Long Positions
Considered amply supplied copper has risen 16 in 2016 and caught up somewhat in 4Q to the 199 gain in the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Subindex Copper could be a key commodity barometer in 2017 with any stumble being a bearish signal for the commodities market
Copper and Gold Open-Interest Flows Trade Places May Favor Gold A surge to records in gold and silver futures open interest earlier in 2016 indicated that the market was leaning a bit too long Nearing 2017 copper may be in a similarly extreme one-sided position At the end of 2016 coppers percentage change in open interest topped the major commodities with LME and CME copper increasing an average of 39 Similar extreme conditions in managed-money net positions indicate some caution may be warranted in copper
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Copper Leads Open-Interest Gainers
Gold and copper appear to have bottomed from multiyear lows in 2016 but gold may offer increasing relative value as the shift away from the metal may have swung too far Record-high copper open interest and long positions are a bullish endorsement but the balance may need to stabilize somewhat
METALS - OUTLOOK
Industrial Metals May Be Key Fed-Tightening Indicators in 2017 Fed watchers may keep a close eye in 2017 on industrial metals notably copper and zinc -- the best performers in three tightening cycles since 1990 Typically leading indicators copper averaged gains just above 80 with zinc a close second In the last cycle (June 2004-June 2006) copper surged 190 and zinc 220 Zinc is among the best-performing commodities in 2016 up 60 and copper is up 17 Nickel has provided the most consistent returns
Copper the Best Performer in Tightening Cycles
Nickel gains averaged about 40 in the three tightening cycles with a standard deviation of only 17 compared with 94 for copper and 125 for zinc The ratio of performance divided by standard deviation for nickel is 24x vs 09x for copper and 06x for zinc
Gold-to-Copper Ratio Plunge Indicates Opposite in Bond Yields The highest-velocity plunge in the gold-to-copper ratio since the 2009 financial crisis (and from a similar peak) has strong inverse implications for US bond yields The elusive piece of the higher commodities and stocks normalization puzzle in 2016 -- increasing bond yields -- appears to be finally fitting in place after record lows in July Up about 20 bps from 227 at the end of 2015 the US 10-year Treasury yield may reach 3 resistance if the gold-to-copper ratio is a guide
GoldCopper Ratio Peaks amp Coincident Yield Rallies
Far from a perfect indicator the chart depicts that often when copper increases relative to gold with such velocity as in 2H bond yields tend to follow The performance between industrial and precious metals should have strong macro implications in 2017
Gold Futures Curve May Shed Brightest Light on Feds Direction Despite reduced expectations of Fed rate tightening earlier in 2016 the gold one-year futures curve shifted steeper into contango If rates increase less than anticipated the gold curve should flatten from minus 15 at the end of 2016 The curve is consistent with a US Treasury two-year yield near 16 vs 12 currently Since 2000 when the gold curve shifted in a similar fashion the two-year yield peaked near 16 Interest-rate expectations are the main factor in the shape of the gold futures curve
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Gold Futures Curve Consistently Steepened in 2016
At the onset of the tightening cycle in June 2004 two-year yields bottomed in March near 16 as increasing yields led a steepening gold curve In March 2008 two-year yields bottomed again near 16 during the easing cycle The sharply steepening gold futures curve may have shifted to a leadership role
Gold Resilient in 2016 Despite Strong Stock Market and Dollar Gold appears increasingly subject to the direction of the stock market Historically the correlation between the spot price of gold and the SampP 500 is about zero although they have had sustained periods at odds In 2013 golds plunge coincided with the SampP 500s surge past 2007s high of almost 1550 In the 2015-16 transition gold bottomed just above $1000 an ounce as the stock market fell In the aftermath of 2008s financial crisis 2009 and 2010 were years where they trended together
Gold amp Stock Market Love-Hate Relationship
Elongated stock-market risk may be helping gold which has rebounded in 2016 despite the SampP 500s record highs This decade the SampP 500 has increased over 6x real GDP vs 54x in the 1990s bull market the end of which marked a beginning for gold
Metals-Alone Portfolio Can Best Broader Commodities Approach Focusing on metals alone for portfolio allocation has provided better returns than employing a broader range of commodities The chart depicts a diversified portfolio tracking the Bloomberg Precious and Industrial Metals Subindexes and a similar portfolio tracking the broad Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) since 1999 With the same volatility of about 10 the metals-focused diversified index average return was 108 compared with 92 for BCOM Metals have few issues with negative roll yields
Portfolio Tracking Metals Only vs the Broad BCOM
While many commodity prices have been pressured due to rapidly improving technology that has increased supply andor reduced demand notably in energy metals have been hurt less Silver supply for example has steadily increased while electronics have helped shore up demand for the metal

Agriculture More Susceptible to Weather Led By Soybeans amp Sugar Agriculture commodities are all about the weather but potentially more so in 2017 as successive years of favorable conditions beat up prices spurring far greater demand The 12 2016 spot increase in the Bloomberg Grains Subindex (BCOM) despite the largest harvest ever may indicate that prices have sufficiently fallen In a year with such a high-velocity increase in production the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex total return of 21 may be a trough signal or be a blip in the bear trend since 2012
If growing conditions maintain the increasingly favorable trend prices may suffer Maintaining record production is more subject to volatility than consumption trends which are often driven by prices
Soybeans and Sugar the 2016 Studs Wheat the Dud
Well Fed Soybeans May Be Key to Agriculture Performance in 2017 Soybeans should again dictate performance in the agriculture sector in 2017 after leading the gainers in 2016 The 13 total return of the soybean complex came despite record production for the most widely traded highest-weighted commodity in the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex If soybeans sputter it will likely be due to another record harvest though the lack of pressure in 2016 was a sign of divergent strength Wheat was 2016s biggest agriculture commodity dud down about 24
Reduced South American production and sharply higher demand supported soybeans in 2016 Classified as an oilseed the 25 gain in palm oil has been a price driver After leading the way to start 2016 sugar fell back partially tethered to weaker corn with ethanol strengthening their connection
Palm Oil May Grease Wheels for Soybeans at 10-Year Discount Not since the 75 soybean rally in 2007 has the palm oil-to-soybean ratio been sustained above the 30 level reached in December Increasing production already at a record may be necessary to damp soybean prices barring a reduction in demand much of which is coming from edible oil Farmers typically are skeptical of soybean oil-driven soybean rallies given that bean meal is the more significant demand source Soybean oil and soybeans have benefited from 2016s shortfall in palm oil production
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Soybeans End 2016 Near Extreme Low to Palm Oil
Malaysias production fell by 15 in the first 11 months of 2016 with Indonesia potentially experiencing a decline in excess of 20 over the same period Substitution has resulted in stronger demand for soybean oil A recovery in palm oil production could potentially damp soybean oil prices
2016 Corn-to-Sugar Six-Year Low May Sweeten Corn in 2017 A recovering corn-to-sugar ratio bodes well for corn On only three occasions since 1990 has this ratio ended lower than 149 reached in 2016 In the prior cases the average increase in the front corn price a year later was about 60 Corn and sugar are different agriculture commodities but becoming increasingly linked via ethanol Brazil is the primary producer and exporter of cane sugar with about 50 used for ethanol The US is the leader in corn with about 35 used for ethanol
Corn-to-Sugar Ratio Recovering From Six-Year Low
Front-sugar futures up 28 in 2016 compared with corn futures (down 2) may have recovered from an extreme disparity but based on history when they were less tightly linked than now US ethanol production pegged near 56
billion liters in 2016 about doubles Brazils
AGRICULTURE - CURVES amp FLOWS
Agriculture Futures Curve Roll Yields Poised to Recover in 2017 The Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex roll-yield and one-year futures curves both steady near minus 5 since 2014 may be poised to improve in 2017 Despite successive record harvests and overall declining prices the agriculture index weighted average futures curve improved to 5 near the end of 2016 vs 6 at the end of 2015 Sugar cotton and soybeans are the primary agriculture commodities in backwardation helping to increase total returns offsetting the steep contango drag from corn and wheat
Agriculture Curve Roll Yields Steady Near 5
Cotton and hard wheat topped the list of agriculture open interest gainers in 2016 increasing 30 and 24 Wheat topped the net-managed money position shorts list but near 109000 contracts is well off 2016s high at 15 million Contrarily cotton positions ended the year near record long
AGRICULTURE ndash OUTLOOK
Weather May Take Starch Out of Price-Driven Grain Bean Gluttony It may take higher prices to reduce the velocity of global corn soybean and wheat consumption which is at a multi-decade high on the back of price declines USDA estimated consumption of corn soybeans and wheat in 2016 is 7 above the five-year average -- the greatest relative increase in 30 years Favorable weather has boosted production and pressured prices making the agriculture market more exposed to the opposite Since August the Bloomberg Grains Subindex has recovered from an eight-year low
The two are clearly related as lower prices equal greater demand The relative velocity of change at multi-decade

Extreme Soybean Yields in 2016 May Mean Higher Prices in 2017 The USDAs final report for 2016 pegged soybean yields at 525 bushels an acre about 14 above the five-year average Since 1959 this extreme has been beaten once in 1994 when yields increased by 16 Prices slid 22 in 1994 but surged 33 in 1995 as yields normalized back to the average In only six years have soybean yields topped the five-year average by at least 10 and price gains averaged 19 the next year Prices declined 5 on average during years of record yields including 2004s outlier (down 31) Strongest Yields Price Change () Since 1959
Soybeans at $997 a bushel at the end of 2016 are about 43 below 2012s peak of $1770 and 15 off 2016s high Record-high US yields have pushed prices from Junes $1178 peak which came on the back of lower South American production

Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
years ago The commodity market could be a primary indicator
The Road to Improving Roll Yields Paved With Flattening Curves Flattening futures curves indicate that high negative roll yields should improve At the end of 2016 the weighted sum of Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) one-year curves neared 3 in contango vs 8 at the end of 2015 Energy is the primary leader of flattening curves The sector was about 19 in contango to end 2015 and reached 25 in February resulting in a current energy roll yield of minus 32 Approaching the end of December the energy contango narrowed to about 5
Roll Yields Poised to Follow Flattening Curve
If the weighted sum of BCOM commodity futures curves stays near its levels at the end of 2016 the roll yield could drop toward minus 5 as it did into 2012 This analysis covers one-year curves so the actual roll-yield effect is more indicative Indexes typically roll to contracts a few months out
2016 May Be Reflection of 1980 as Commodities Lead Bond Yields Commodities may be leading bond yields The Thompson Reuters Commodity Index peaked in November 1980 and 10 months later so did US Treasury 10-year yields at a historic high of 157 This coincided with the change of US presidents to Ronald Reagan from Jimmy Carter and a corresponding change in economic focus This year appears to be more of the same at least in terms of a potential paradigm shift in US administrations In July 10-year yields bottomed six months after the BCOM which didnt exist in 1980
Commodities and Bonds 1979-81 and 2014-16
Time will tell if 2016s bottom in commodity prices and bond yields will continue on a long-term basis If history is a guide commodities appear to be in the drivers seat for reflation and economic normalization
Naughty and Nice in Tightening Cycles Stocks vs Commodities Since 1990 commodities have doubled the performance of stocks as the US economy entered cycles of sustained tightening The Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) averaged about a 24 total return in the past three tightening cycles almost 3x the SampP 500 gain In the last cycle (June 2004-June 2006) BCOM increased 28 vs 15 for the SampP 500 and added to its 90 total return of the two years prior vs about 40 for stocks Expectations are that a further tightening cycle is afoot
Commodities vs Stocks When Fed Tightens
At the end of 2016 the two-year return of the BCOM was down about 17 vs a 12 gain in the SampP 500 A reversal of the quantitative easing that extended the stock markets rally may leave it more vulnerable to Fed tightening risk than the beaten-up commodities market

CURVES amp FLOWS
The Good News About High Negative Roll Yields Positive Returns If history is any guide the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) could gain in 2017 after 2016s extreme negative roll yield In only three years has BCOMs annual gross roll yield ever exceeded minus 11 and each time it was followed by positive total returns The record roll yield was minus 22 in 2009 when total returns were 19 and then 17 in 2010 It was similar in 2005-06 when the BCOM roll yield exceeded minus 11 From the beginning of 2005 through 2007 the BCOM total return was 44
Strong Returns Often Follow High Minus-Roll Years
Steep contango conditions often result in high negative roll yields Curve shapes are forward looking while the resulting roll yield is a backward measure When roll yields have reached negative extremes theyve often signaled the market is ripe for mean reversion
ATTRIBUTION
BCOM 2016 Performance
Note PORT data for the BCOM is a rough approximation
Energy and Base Metals Are the Biggest Drivers of BCOM Return The 163 increase in the Bloomberg
Energy Subindex accounted for most of the Bloomberg Commodity Indexs 118 total return in 2016 adding about 730 bps Industrial metals the best-performing subindex with a 199 gain contributed about 260 bps to BCOM total returns Agriculture was basically flat and precious metals dropped back to contributing just over 30 bps after leading the index in 1H Brent crude was the single-largest contributor to the indexs total returns in 2016 adding about 220 bps
Heating oil and Zinc tied as the second-largest contributors to total returns both adding about 120 bps Livestock was the only sector that didnt contribute to BCOM positive returns These are estimates based on the PORT function

Range Bound Rebalancing
PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Fresh Off Life of Index Low the Energy Recovery May Take Awhile Prices and negative roll yields may have bottomed though the energy recovery could be protracted The Bloomberg Energy Subindex 2016 total return of 163 is the best since 21 in 2007 The recovery is still in early days since the February low Energy markets appear to have shifted from anticipating peak supply to potential peak demand In the current 10-year period the total return index underperformed spot by about 14 annualized compared with outperforming by 3 in the previous decade
Heating Oil Leads Energy Gainers in 2016
Indicating a potential longer-term bottom petroleum recovered in 2016 well before OPEC announced output cuts in November Sharply flattening futures curves reflect excess supply rebalancing and better days ahead from the negative 32 energy gross roll yield which was the highest since the 2008 crisis
Rising Prices at the Pump May Take A While to Reach Investors Up 479 in 2016 the Bloomberg Energy Spot Subindex surpassed 2009s 425 performance with potentially similar economic recovery implications High roll yield years like 2016 typically coincide with or are followed by positive total returns Natural gas was a middle of the road contributor to energys total returns with a 103 total return on a spot increase of 59 due to its generally steep contango and high negative roll yield If the 13-year crude oil futures low of $26 a barrel in February was the longer term bottom the 2016 mean price of $43 should be a good support level
Some reversion to the mean since crude oil prices plunged in 2014 from above $100 has been at play The two-year change indicates more potential to move toward
the mean Unleaded gas is down the least notably due to its history of flatter futures curves emphasizing the importance or total returns
ENERGY - CURVES amp FLOWS
Energy Futures Are Leading Commodities Back to Backwardation Indicating rebalancing normalization and improving total returns energy futures lead all commodities in shifting toward backwardation Natural gas with its one-year curve about 1 in backwardation at the end of 2016 (vs 23 at the end of 2015) followed by Brent crude heating oil and WTI crude topped 2016s shift away from the contango leader board Low prices appear to be a primary cause helping spur demand and deter production Natural gas is a prime example as heating electricity use and exports increase rapidly
Energy Leads Drive From Contango 1-Year Curves
Measured via the one-year futures spread as a percent of the first contract price Negative means the one-year out future is higher (contango) Positive means the one-year out future is lower (backwardation
The surge to new highs in crude oil futures open interest and managed-money net positions at the end of 2016 indicate a potential historic play on higher prices but may be vulnerable to some normalization Crude oil may be at risk of similar pullbacks as sugar gold and silver from earlier in 2016
Brent Futures Curve Flattening - Path to Improving Roll Yields Indicating a rebalancing market and improving roll yields the one-year Brent futures curve ended 2016 about 3 in contango the narrowest since October 2014 In January the Brent curve reached the steepest contango since the 2008 crisis at 26 There is plenty of incentive to store and sell forward crude for over 20 profit in a year less costs If historic trends are a guide Brent appears on the road back to backwardation which occurs when current futures trade higher than

backs
Brent Futures Curve at Narrowest in Two Years
The most extreme contango period in Brent futures coincided with the 2008 financial crisis Brent stayed in contango for 30 months December marked 29 months A Brent crude futures curve returning to backwardation might be a good indicator of OPEC resolve
ENERGY ndash OUTLOOK
On the Road to Improving Total Returns Plunging Energy Contango Energy commodities are likely to be range bound with improving roll yields in 2017 Flattening futures curves indicate improvement in high negative roll yields At the end of 2016 the weighted sum of BCOM energy one-year curves neared 5 in contango vs 19 at the end of 2015 Energy is the primary leader of BCOM flattening curves which reached 25 in February resulting in a yield of negative 32 The flattening energy futures curve was a leading indicator of recovering prices in 2016
Energy Roll Yields Set to Follow Flattening Curve
If the weighted sum of BCOM energy futures curves stays near its levels at the end of December the roll yield could drop toward negative 8 as it did into 2012 This
analysis covers one-year curves so the actual roll yield effect is more indicative Indexes typically roll to contracts a few months out

Metals May Be Back On Inflation or Not
PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Metals May Be a Primary 2017 Indication of Normalized Inflation If the strong performance of metals in 2016 is any indication that inflation is truly normalizing they could regain their historic role as primary beneficiaries and be key indicators in 2017 Metals increased 15 in 2016 led by the 199 gain in the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Subindex and the 95 increase in the precious metals index Industrial metals may have bottomed in 2016 after failing to produce an annual return of greater than 1 since 2010
Industrial Metals Make Play for Normalization
Signs of more Federal Reserve rate tightening and economic normalization should emanate from strength in industrial vs precious metals Gold the largest single weight in the Bloomberg Commodity Index should fulfill its traditional diversifier role if primary capital-asset performance disappoints
Economics Friendlier Industrial Metals Take Baton From Precious Spot silvers 16 increase vs golds 9 advance and industrial metals doubling the gains for precious metals in 2016 indicate a shift to the positive in global economic demand A continuation of this trend may be preferred by most who experienced the potential abyss of negative interest rates and extreme inflation-stimulative polices in 2016 Zinc up 575 in 2016 as measured by the Bloomberg Zinc Subindex and the years best-performing commodity has recovered 50 of the 2006-08 plunge
Copper and zinc have been best performers during tightening cycles Gold the worst-performing metal in 2016 may indicate divergent strength amid strong rallies in stocks and the US dollar Inflation and economic growth typically not bad for gold has been better for copper
METALS - CURVES amp FLOWS
A Copper Trough or Some Excessive Enthusiasm on Record Positions Combined open interest in CME and LME copper futures has surged to a record at the end of 2016 reflecting bullish trader sentiment Indicating potentially excessive enthusiasm meanwhile managed money combined long positions have leaped to all-time highs CME copper positions were about 18 above the previous high from 2010 -- shortly before copper peaked close to $460 a pound Extreme long positions well below that peak near $250 may need to be pared back before sustained price appreciation can occur
Surging Copper Open Interest amp Long Positions
Considered amply supplied copper has risen 16 in 2016 and caught up somewhat in 4Q to the 199 gain in the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Subindex Copper could be a key commodity barometer in 2017 with any stumble being a bearish signal for the commodities market
Copper and Gold Open-Interest Flows Trade Places May Favor Gold A surge to records in gold and silver futures open interest earlier in 2016 indicated that the market was leaning a bit too long Nearing 2017 copper may be in a similarly extreme one-sided position At the end of 2016 coppers percentage change in open interest topped the major commodities with LME and CME copper increasing an average of 39 Similar extreme conditions in managed-money net positions indicate some caution may be warranted in copper

Copper Leads Open-Interest Gainers
Gold and copper appear to have bottomed from multiyear lows in 2016 but gold may offer increasing relative value as the shift away from the metal may have swung too far Record-high copper open interest and long positions are a bullish endorsement but the balance may need to stabilize somewhat
METALS - OUTLOOK
Industrial Metals May Be Key Fed-Tightening Indicators in 2017 Fed watchers may keep a close eye in 2017 on industrial metals notably copper and zinc -- the best performers in three tightening cycles since 1990 Typically leading indicators copper averaged gains just above 80 with zinc a close second In the last cycle (June 2004-June 2006) copper surged 190 and zinc 220 Zinc is among the best-performing commodities in 2016 up 60 and copper is up 17 Nickel has provided the most consistent returns
Copper the Best Performer in Tightening Cycles
Nickel gains averaged about 40 in the three tightening cycles with a standard deviation of only 17 compared with 94 for copper and 125 for zinc The ratio of performance divided by standard deviation for nickel is 24x vs 09x for copper and 06x for zinc
Gold-to-Copper Ratio Plunge Indicates Opposite in Bond Yields The highest-velocity plunge in the gold-to-copper ratio since the 2009 financial crisis (and from a similar peak) has strong inverse implications for US bond yields The elusive piece of the higher commodities and stocks normalization puzzle in 2016 -- increasing bond yields -- appears to be finally fitting in place after record lows in July Up about 20 bps from 227 at the end of 2015 the US 10-year Treasury yield may reach 3 resistance if the gold-to-copper ratio is a guide
GoldCopper Ratio Peaks amp Coincident Yield Rallies
Far from a perfect indicator the chart depicts that often when copper increases relative to gold with such velocity as in 2H bond yields tend to follow The performance between industrial and precious metals should have strong macro implications in 2017
Gold Futures Curve May Shed Brightest Light on Feds Direction Despite reduced expectations of Fed rate tightening earlier in 2016 the gold one-year futures curve shifted steeper into contango If rates increase less than anticipated the gold curve should flatten from minus 15 at the end of 2016 The curve is consistent with a US Treasury two-year yield near 16 vs 12 currently Since 2000 when the gold curve shifted in a similar fashion the two-year yield peaked near 16 Interest-rate expectations are the main factor in the shape of the gold futures curve
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Gold Futures Curve Consistently Steepened in 2016
At the onset of the tightening cycle in June 2004 two-year yields bottomed in March near 16 as increasing yields led a steepening gold curve In March 2008 two-year yields bottomed again near 16 during the easing cycle The sharply steepening gold futures curve may have shifted to a leadership role
Gold Resilient in 2016 Despite Strong Stock Market and Dollar Gold appears increasingly subject to the direction of the stock market Historically the correlation between the spot price of gold and the SampP 500 is about zero although they have had sustained periods at odds In 2013 golds plunge coincided with the SampP 500s surge past 2007s high of almost 1550 In the 2015-16 transition gold bottomed just above $1000 an ounce as the stock market fell In the aftermath of 2008s financial crisis 2009 and 2010 were years where they trended together
Gold amp Stock Market Love-Hate Relationship
Elongated stock-market risk may be helping gold which has rebounded in 2016 despite the SampP 500s record highs This decade the SampP 500 has increased over 6x real GDP vs 54x in the 1990s bull market the end of which marked a beginning for gold
Metals-Alone Portfolio Can Best Broader Commodities Approach Focusing on metals alone for portfolio allocation has provided better returns than employing a broader range of commodities The chart depicts a diversified portfolio tracking the Bloomberg Precious and Industrial Metals Subindexes and a similar portfolio tracking the broad Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) since 1999 With the same volatility of about 10 the metals-focused diversified index average return was 108 compared with 92 for BCOM Metals have few issues with negative roll yields
Portfolio Tracking Metals Only vs the Broad BCOM
While many commodity prices have been pressured due to rapidly improving technology that has increased supply andor reduced demand notably in energy metals have been hurt less Silver supply for example has steadily increased while electronics have helped shore up demand for the metal

PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Agriculture More Susceptible to Weather Led By Soybeans amp Sugar Agriculture commodities are all about the weather but potentially more so in 2017 as successive years of favorable conditions beat up prices spurring far greater demand The 12 2016 spot increase in the Bloomberg Grains Subindex (BCOM) despite the largest harvest ever may indicate that prices have sufficiently fallen In a year with such a high-velocity increase in production the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex total return of 21 may be a trough signal or be a blip in the bear trend since 2012
If growing conditions maintain the increasingly favorable trend prices may suffer Maintaining record production is more subject to volatility than consumption trends which are often driven by prices
Soybeans and Sugar the 2016 Studs Wheat the Dud
Well Fed Soybeans May Be Key to Agriculture Performance in 2017 Soybeans should again dictate performance in the agriculture sector in 2017 after leading the gainers in 2016 The 13 total return of the soybean complex came despite record production for the most widely traded highest-weighted commodity in the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex If soybeans sputter it will likely be due to another record harvest though the lack of pressure in 2016 was a sign of divergent strength Wheat was 2016s biggest agriculture commodity dud down about 24
Reduced South American production and sharply higher demand supported soybeans in 2016 Classified as an oilseed the 25 gain in palm oil has been a price driver After leading the way to start 2016 sugar fell back partially tethered to weaker corn with ethanol strengthening their connection
Palm Oil May Grease Wheels for Soybeans at 10-Year Discount Not since the 75 soybean rally in 2007 has the palm oil-to-soybean ratio been sustained above the 30 level reached in December Increasing production already at a record may be necessary to damp soybean prices barring a reduction in demand much of which is coming from edible oil Farmers typically are skeptical of soybean oil-driven soybean rallies given that bean meal is the more significant demand source Soybean oil and soybeans have benefited from 2016s shortfall in palm oil production
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Soybeans End 2016 Near Extreme Low to Palm Oil
Malaysias production fell by 15 in the first 11 months of 2016 with Indonesia potentially experiencing a decline in excess of 20 over the same period Substitution has resulted in stronger demand for soybean oil A recovery in palm oil production could potentially damp soybean oil prices
2016 Corn-to-Sugar Six-Year Low May Sweeten Corn in 2017 A recovering corn-to-sugar ratio bodes well for corn On only three occasions since 1990 has this ratio ended lower than 149 reached in 2016 In the prior cases the average increase in the front corn price a year later was about 60 Corn and sugar are different agriculture commodities but becoming increasingly linked via ethanol Brazil is the primary producer and exporter of cane sugar with about 50 used for ethanol The US is the leader in corn with about 35 used for ethanol
Corn-to-Sugar Ratio Recovering From Six-Year Low
Front-sugar futures up 28 in 2016 compared with corn futures (down 2) may have recovered from an extreme disparity but based on history when they were less tightly linked than now US ethanol production pegged near 56
billion liters in 2016 about doubles Brazils
AGRICULTURE - CURVES amp FLOWS
Agriculture Futures Curve Roll Yields Poised to Recover in 2017 The Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex roll-yield and one-year futures curves both steady near minus 5 since 2014 may be poised to improve in 2017 Despite successive record harvests and overall declining prices the agriculture index weighted average futures curve improved to 5 near the end of 2016 vs 6 at the end of 2015 Sugar cotton and soybeans are the primary agriculture commodities in backwardation helping to increase total returns offsetting the steep contango drag from corn and wheat
Agriculture Curve Roll Yields Steady Near 5
Cotton and hard wheat topped the list of agriculture open interest gainers in 2016 increasing 30 and 24 Wheat topped the net-managed money position shorts list but near 109000 contracts is well off 2016s high at 15 million Contrarily cotton positions ended the year near record long
AGRICULTURE ndash OUTLOOK
Weather May Take Starch Out of Price-Driven Grain Bean Gluttony It may take higher prices to reduce the velocity of global corn soybean and wheat consumption which is at a multi-decade high on the back of price declines USDA estimated consumption of corn soybeans and wheat in 2016 is 7 above the five-year average -- the greatest relative increase in 30 years Favorable weather has boosted production and pressured prices making the agriculture market more exposed to the opposite Since August the Bloomberg Grains Subindex has recovered from an eight-year low
The two are clearly related as lower prices equal greater demand The relative velocity of change at multi-decade

extremes may be the most relevant Up 12 in 2016 the Bloomberg Grains Spot Subindex has rallied 8 since the end of August likely pricing in some adverse weather risk in 2017 30-Year High in Corn Wheat amp Soybean Consumption
Extreme Soybean Yields in 2016 May Mean Higher Prices in 2017 The USDAs final report for 2016 pegged soybean yields at 525 bushels an acre about 14 above the five-year average Since 1959 this extreme has been beaten once in 1994 when yields increased by 16 Prices slid 22 in 1994 but surged 33 in 1995 as yields normalized back to the average In only six years have soybean yields topped the five-year average by at least 10 and price gains averaged 19 the next year Prices declined 5 on average during years of record yields including 2004s outlier (down 31) Strongest Yields Price Change () Since 1959
Soybeans at $997 a bushel at the end of 2016 are about 43 below 2012s peak of $1770 and 15 off 2016s high Record-high US yields have pushed prices from Junes $1178 peak which came on the back of lower South American production

CURVES amp FLOWS
The Good News About High Negative Roll Yields Positive Returns If history is any guide the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) could gain in 2017 after 2016s extreme negative roll yield In only three years has BCOMs annual gross roll yield ever exceeded minus 11 and each time it was followed by positive total returns The record roll yield was minus 22 in 2009 when total returns were 19 and then 17 in 2010 It was similar in 2005-06 when the BCOM roll yield exceeded minus 11 From the beginning of 2005 through 2007 the BCOM total return was 44
Strong Returns Often Follow High Minus-Roll Years
Steep contango conditions often result in high negative roll yields Curve shapes are forward looking while the resulting roll yield is a backward measure When roll yields have reached negative extremes theyve often signaled the market is ripe for mean reversion
ATTRIBUTION
BCOM 2016 Performance
Note PORT data for the BCOM is a rough approximation
Energy and Base Metals Are the Biggest Drivers of BCOM Return The 163 increase in the Bloomberg
Energy Subindex accounted for most of the Bloomberg Commodity Indexs 118 total return in 2016 adding about 730 bps Industrial metals the best-performing subindex with a 199 gain contributed about 260 bps to BCOM total returns Agriculture was basically flat and precious metals dropped back to contributing just over 30 bps after leading the index in 1H Brent crude was the single-largest contributor to the indexs total returns in 2016 adding about 220 bps
Heating oil and Zinc tied as the second-largest contributors to total returns both adding about 120 bps Livestock was the only sector that didnt contribute to BCOM positive returns These are estimates based on the PORT function

Range Bound Rebalancing
PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Fresh Off Life of Index Low the Energy Recovery May Take Awhile Prices and negative roll yields may have bottomed though the energy recovery could be protracted The Bloomberg Energy Subindex 2016 total return of 163 is the best since 21 in 2007 The recovery is still in early days since the February low Energy markets appear to have shifted from anticipating peak supply to potential peak demand In the current 10-year period the total return index underperformed spot by about 14 annualized compared with outperforming by 3 in the previous decade
Heating Oil Leads Energy Gainers in 2016
Indicating a potential longer-term bottom petroleum recovered in 2016 well before OPEC announced output cuts in November Sharply flattening futures curves reflect excess supply rebalancing and better days ahead from the negative 32 energy gross roll yield which was the highest since the 2008 crisis
Rising Prices at the Pump May Take A While to Reach Investors Up 479 in 2016 the Bloomberg Energy Spot Subindex surpassed 2009s 425 performance with potentially similar economic recovery implications High roll yield years like 2016 typically coincide with or are followed by positive total returns Natural gas was a middle of the road contributor to energys total returns with a 103 total return on a spot increase of 59 due to its generally steep contango and high negative roll yield If the 13-year crude oil futures low of $26 a barrel in February was the longer term bottom the 2016 mean price of $43 should be a good support level
Some reversion to the mean since crude oil prices plunged in 2014 from above $100 has been at play The two-year change indicates more potential to move toward
the mean Unleaded gas is down the least notably due to its history of flatter futures curves emphasizing the importance or total returns
ENERGY - CURVES amp FLOWS
Energy Futures Are Leading Commodities Back to Backwardation Indicating rebalancing normalization and improving total returns energy futures lead all commodities in shifting toward backwardation Natural gas with its one-year curve about 1 in backwardation at the end of 2016 (vs 23 at the end of 2015) followed by Brent crude heating oil and WTI crude topped 2016s shift away from the contango leader board Low prices appear to be a primary cause helping spur demand and deter production Natural gas is a prime example as heating electricity use and exports increase rapidly
Energy Leads Drive From Contango 1-Year Curves
Measured via the one-year futures spread as a percent of the first contract price Negative means the one-year out future is higher (contango) Positive means the one-year out future is lower (backwardation
The surge to new highs in crude oil futures open interest and managed-money net positions at the end of 2016 indicate a potential historic play on higher prices but may be vulnerable to some normalization Crude oil may be at risk of similar pullbacks as sugar gold and silver from earlier in 2016
Brent Futures Curve Flattening - Path to Improving Roll Yields Indicating a rebalancing market and improving roll yields the one-year Brent futures curve ended 2016 about 3 in contango the narrowest since October 2014 In January the Brent curve reached the steepest contango since the 2008 crisis at 26 There is plenty of incentive to store and sell forward crude for over 20 profit in a year less costs If historic trends are a guide Brent appears on the road back to backwardation which occurs when current futures trade higher than

backs
Brent Futures Curve at Narrowest in Two Years
The most extreme contango period in Brent futures coincided with the 2008 financial crisis Brent stayed in contango for 30 months December marked 29 months A Brent crude futures curve returning to backwardation might be a good indicator of OPEC resolve
ENERGY ndash OUTLOOK
On the Road to Improving Total Returns Plunging Energy Contango Energy commodities are likely to be range bound with improving roll yields in 2017 Flattening futures curves indicate improvement in high negative roll yields At the end of 2016 the weighted sum of BCOM energy one-year curves neared 5 in contango vs 19 at the end of 2015 Energy is the primary leader of BCOM flattening curves which reached 25 in February resulting in a yield of negative 32 The flattening energy futures curve was a leading indicator of recovering prices in 2016
Energy Roll Yields Set to Follow Flattening Curve
If the weighted sum of BCOM energy futures curves stays near its levels at the end of December the roll yield could drop toward negative 8 as it did into 2012 This
analysis covers one-year curves so the actual roll yield effect is more indicative Indexes typically roll to contracts a few months out

Metals May Be Back On Inflation or Not
PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Metals May Be a Primary 2017 Indication of Normalized Inflation If the strong performance of metals in 2016 is any indication that inflation is truly normalizing they could regain their historic role as primary beneficiaries and be key indicators in 2017 Metals increased 15 in 2016 led by the 199 gain in the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Subindex and the 95 increase in the precious metals index Industrial metals may have bottomed in 2016 after failing to produce an annual return of greater than 1 since 2010
Industrial Metals Make Play for Normalization
Signs of more Federal Reserve rate tightening and economic normalization should emanate from strength in industrial vs precious metals Gold the largest single weight in the Bloomberg Commodity Index should fulfill its traditional diversifier role if primary capital-asset performance disappoints
Economics Friendlier Industrial Metals Take Baton From Precious Spot silvers 16 increase vs golds 9 advance and industrial metals doubling the gains for precious metals in 2016 indicate a shift to the positive in global economic demand A continuation of this trend may be preferred by most who experienced the potential abyss of negative interest rates and extreme inflation-stimulative polices in 2016 Zinc up 575 in 2016 as measured by the Bloomberg Zinc Subindex and the years best-performing commodity has recovered 50 of the 2006-08 plunge
Copper and zinc have been best performers during tightening cycles Gold the worst-performing metal in 2016 may indicate divergent strength amid strong rallies in stocks and the US dollar Inflation and economic growth typically not bad for gold has been better for copper
METALS - CURVES amp FLOWS
A Copper Trough or Some Excessive Enthusiasm on Record Positions Combined open interest in CME and LME copper futures has surged to a record at the end of 2016 reflecting bullish trader sentiment Indicating potentially excessive enthusiasm meanwhile managed money combined long positions have leaped to all-time highs CME copper positions were about 18 above the previous high from 2010 -- shortly before copper peaked close to $460 a pound Extreme long positions well below that peak near $250 may need to be pared back before sustained price appreciation can occur
Surging Copper Open Interest amp Long Positions
Considered amply supplied copper has risen 16 in 2016 and caught up somewhat in 4Q to the 199 gain in the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Subindex Copper could be a key commodity barometer in 2017 with any stumble being a bearish signal for the commodities market
Copper and Gold Open-Interest Flows Trade Places May Favor Gold A surge to records in gold and silver futures open interest earlier in 2016 indicated that the market was leaning a bit too long Nearing 2017 copper may be in a similarly extreme one-sided position At the end of 2016 coppers percentage change in open interest topped the major commodities with LME and CME copper increasing an average of 39 Similar extreme conditions in managed-money net positions indicate some caution may be warranted in copper
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Copper Leads Open-Interest Gainers
Gold and copper appear to have bottomed from multiyear lows in 2016 but gold may offer increasing relative value as the shift away from the metal may have swung too far Record-high copper open interest and long positions are a bullish endorsement but the balance may need to stabilize somewhat
METALS - OUTLOOK
Industrial Metals May Be Key Fed-Tightening Indicators in 2017 Fed watchers may keep a close eye in 2017 on industrial metals notably copper and zinc -- the best performers in three tightening cycles since 1990 Typically leading indicators copper averaged gains just above 80 with zinc a close second In the last cycle (June 2004-June 2006) copper surged 190 and zinc 220 Zinc is among the best-performing commodities in 2016 up 60 and copper is up 17 Nickel has provided the most consistent returns
Copper the Best Performer in Tightening Cycles
Nickel gains averaged about 40 in the three tightening cycles with a standard deviation of only 17 compared with 94 for copper and 125 for zinc The ratio of performance divided by standard deviation for nickel is 24x vs 09x for copper and 06x for zinc
Gold-to-Copper Ratio Plunge Indicates Opposite in Bond Yields The highest-velocity plunge in the gold-to-copper ratio since the 2009 financial crisis (and from a similar peak) has strong inverse implications for US bond yields The elusive piece of the higher commodities and stocks normalization puzzle in 2016 -- increasing bond yields -- appears to be finally fitting in place after record lows in July Up about 20 bps from 227 at the end of 2015 the US 10-year Treasury yield may reach 3 resistance if the gold-to-copper ratio is a guide
GoldCopper Ratio Peaks amp Coincident Yield Rallies
Far from a perfect indicator the chart depicts that often when copper increases relative to gold with such velocity as in 2H bond yields tend to follow The performance between industrial and precious metals should have strong macro implications in 2017
Gold Futures Curve May Shed Brightest Light on Feds Direction Despite reduced expectations of Fed rate tightening earlier in 2016 the gold one-year futures curve shifted steeper into contango If rates increase less than anticipated the gold curve should flatten from minus 15 at the end of 2016 The curve is consistent with a US Treasury two-year yield near 16 vs 12 currently Since 2000 when the gold curve shifted in a similar fashion the two-year yield peaked near 16 Interest-rate expectations are the main factor in the shape of the gold futures curve
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Gold Futures Curve Consistently Steepened in 2016
At the onset of the tightening cycle in June 2004 two-year yields bottomed in March near 16 as increasing yields led a steepening gold curve In March 2008 two-year yields bottomed again near 16 during the easing cycle The sharply steepening gold futures curve may have shifted to a leadership role
Gold Resilient in 2016 Despite Strong Stock Market and Dollar Gold appears increasingly subject to the direction of the stock market Historically the correlation between the spot price of gold and the SampP 500 is about zero although they have had sustained periods at odds In 2013 golds plunge coincided with the SampP 500s surge past 2007s high of almost 1550 In the 2015-16 transition gold bottomed just above $1000 an ounce as the stock market fell In the aftermath of 2008s financial crisis 2009 and 2010 were years where they trended together
Gold amp Stock Market Love-Hate Relationship
Elongated stock-market risk may be helping gold which has rebounded in 2016 despite the SampP 500s record highs This decade the SampP 500 has increased over 6x real GDP vs 54x in the 1990s bull market the end of which marked a beginning for gold
Metals-Alone Portfolio Can Best Broader Commodities Approach Focusing on metals alone for portfolio allocation has provided better returns than employing a broader range of commodities The chart depicts a diversified portfolio tracking the Bloomberg Precious and Industrial Metals Subindexes and a similar portfolio tracking the broad Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) since 1999 With the same volatility of about 10 the metals-focused diversified index average return was 108 compared with 92 for BCOM Metals have few issues with negative roll yields
Portfolio Tracking Metals Only vs the Broad BCOM
While many commodity prices have been pressured due to rapidly improving technology that has increased supply andor reduced demand notably in energy metals have been hurt less Silver supply for example has steadily increased while electronics have helped shore up demand for the metal

Agriculture More Susceptible to Weather Led By Soybeans amp Sugar Agriculture commodities are all about the weather but potentially more so in 2017 as successive years of favorable conditions beat up prices spurring far greater demand The 12 2016 spot increase in the Bloomberg Grains Subindex (BCOM) despite the largest harvest ever may indicate that prices have sufficiently fallen In a year with such a high-velocity increase in production the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex total return of 21 may be a trough signal or be a blip in the bear trend since 2012
If growing conditions maintain the increasingly favorable trend prices may suffer Maintaining record production is more subject to volatility than consumption trends which are often driven by prices
Soybeans and Sugar the 2016 Studs Wheat the Dud
Well Fed Soybeans May Be Key to Agriculture Performance in 2017 Soybeans should again dictate performance in the agriculture sector in 2017 after leading the gainers in 2016 The 13 total return of the soybean complex came despite record production for the most widely traded highest-weighted commodity in the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex If soybeans sputter it will likely be due to another record harvest though the lack of pressure in 2016 was a sign of divergent strength Wheat was 2016s biggest agriculture commodity dud down about 24
Reduced South American production and sharply higher demand supported soybeans in 2016 Classified as an oilseed the 25 gain in palm oil has been a price driver After leading the way to start 2016 sugar fell back partially tethered to weaker corn with ethanol strengthening their connection
Palm Oil May Grease Wheels for Soybeans at 10-Year Discount Not since the 75 soybean rally in 2007 has the palm oil-to-soybean ratio been sustained above the 30 level reached in December Increasing production already at a record may be necessary to damp soybean prices barring a reduction in demand much of which is coming from edible oil Farmers typically are skeptical of soybean oil-driven soybean rallies given that bean meal is the more significant demand source Soybean oil and soybeans have benefited from 2016s shortfall in palm oil production
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Soybeans End 2016 Near Extreme Low to Palm Oil
Malaysias production fell by 15 in the first 11 months of 2016 with Indonesia potentially experiencing a decline in excess of 20 over the same period Substitution has resulted in stronger demand for soybean oil A recovery in palm oil production could potentially damp soybean oil prices
2016 Corn-to-Sugar Six-Year Low May Sweeten Corn in 2017 A recovering corn-to-sugar ratio bodes well for corn On only three occasions since 1990 has this ratio ended lower than 149 reached in 2016 In the prior cases the average increase in the front corn price a year later was about 60 Corn and sugar are different agriculture commodities but becoming increasingly linked via ethanol Brazil is the primary producer and exporter of cane sugar with about 50 used for ethanol The US is the leader in corn with about 35 used for ethanol
Corn-to-Sugar Ratio Recovering From Six-Year Low
Front-sugar futures up 28 in 2016 compared with corn futures (down 2) may have recovered from an extreme disparity but based on history when they were less tightly linked than now US ethanol production pegged near 56
billion liters in 2016 about doubles Brazils
AGRICULTURE - CURVES amp FLOWS
Agriculture Futures Curve Roll Yields Poised to Recover in 2017 The Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex roll-yield and one-year futures curves both steady near minus 5 since 2014 may be poised to improve in 2017 Despite successive record harvests and overall declining prices the agriculture index weighted average futures curve improved to 5 near the end of 2016 vs 6 at the end of 2015 Sugar cotton and soybeans are the primary agriculture commodities in backwardation helping to increase total returns offsetting the steep contango drag from corn and wheat
Agriculture Curve Roll Yields Steady Near 5
Cotton and hard wheat topped the list of agriculture open interest gainers in 2016 increasing 30 and 24 Wheat topped the net-managed money position shorts list but near 109000 contracts is well off 2016s high at 15 million Contrarily cotton positions ended the year near record long
AGRICULTURE ndash OUTLOOK
Weather May Take Starch Out of Price-Driven Grain Bean Gluttony It may take higher prices to reduce the velocity of global corn soybean and wheat consumption which is at a multi-decade high on the back of price declines USDA estimated consumption of corn soybeans and wheat in 2016 is 7 above the five-year average -- the greatest relative increase in 30 years Favorable weather has boosted production and pressured prices making the agriculture market more exposed to the opposite Since August the Bloomberg Grains Subindex has recovered from an eight-year low
The two are clearly related as lower prices equal greater demand The relative velocity of change at multi-decade

extremes may be the most relevant Up 12 in 2016 the Bloomberg Grains Spot Subindex has rallied 8 since the end of August likely pricing in some adverse weather risk in 2017 30-Year High in Corn Wheat amp Soybean Consumption
Extreme Soybean Yields in 2016 May Mean Higher Prices in 2017 The USDAs final report for 2016 pegged soybean yields at 525 bushels an acre about 14 above the five-year average Since 1959 this extreme has been beaten once in 1994 when yields increased by 16 Prices slid 22 in 1994 but surged 33 in 1995 as yields normalized back to the average In only six years have soybean yields topped the five-year average by at least 10 and price gains averaged 19 the next year Prices declined 5 on average during years of record yields including 2004s outlier (down 31) Strongest Yields Price Change () Since 1959
Soybeans at $997 a bushel at the end of 2016 are about 43 below 2012s peak of $1770 and 15 off 2016s high Record-high US yields have pushed prices from Junes $1178 peak which came on the back of lower South American production

Energy (Index weight 31 of BCOMPerformance Dec +90 YTD +163 Spot +479) Note index weights are the YTD average
Range Bound Rebalancing
PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Fresh Off Life of Index Low the Energy Recovery May Take Awhile Prices and negative roll yields may have bottomed though the energy recovery could be protracted The Bloomberg Energy Subindex 2016 total return of 163 is the best since 21 in 2007 The recovery is still in early days since the February low Energy markets appear to have shifted from anticipating peak supply to potential peak demand In the current 10-year period the total return index underperformed spot by about 14 annualized compared with outperforming by 3 in the previous decade
Heating Oil Leads Energy Gainers in 2016
Indicating a potential longer-term bottom petroleum recovered in 2016 well before OPEC announced output cuts in November Sharply flattening futures curves reflect excess supply rebalancing and better days ahead from the negative 32 energy gross roll yield which was the highest since the 2008 crisis
Rising Prices at the Pump May Take A While to Reach Investors Up 479 in 2016 the Bloomberg Energy Spot Subindex surpassed 2009s 425 performance with potentially similar economic recovery implications High roll yield years like 2016 typically coincide with or are followed by positive total returns Natural gas was a middle of the road contributor to energys total returns with a 103 total return on a spot increase of 59 due to its generally steep contango and high negative roll yield If the 13-year crude oil futures low of $26 a barrel in February was the longer term bottom the 2016 mean price of $43 should be a good support level
Some reversion to the mean since crude oil prices plunged in 2014 from above $100 has been at play The two-year change indicates more potential to move toward
the mean Unleaded gas is down the least notably due to its history of flatter futures curves emphasizing the importance or total returns
ENERGY - CURVES amp FLOWS
Energy Futures Are Leading Commodities Back to Backwardation Indicating rebalancing normalization and improving total returns energy futures lead all commodities in shifting toward backwardation Natural gas with its one-year curve about 1 in backwardation at the end of 2016 (vs 23 at the end of 2015) followed by Brent crude heating oil and WTI crude topped 2016s shift away from the contango leader board Low prices appear to be a primary cause helping spur demand and deter production Natural gas is a prime example as heating electricity use and exports increase rapidly
Energy Leads Drive From Contango 1-Year Curves
Measured via the one-year futures spread as a percent of the first contract price Negative means the one-year out future is higher (contango) Positive means the one-year out future is lower (backwardation
The surge to new highs in crude oil futures open interest and managed-money net positions at the end of 2016 indicate a potential historic play on higher prices but may be vulnerable to some normalization Crude oil may be at risk of similar pullbacks as sugar gold and silver from earlier in 2016
Brent Futures Curve Flattening - Path to Improving Roll Yields Indicating a rebalancing market and improving roll yields the one-year Brent futures curve ended 2016 about 3 in contango the narrowest since October 2014 In January the Brent curve reached the steepest contango since the 2008 crisis at 26 There is plenty of incentive to store and sell forward crude for over 20 profit in a year less costs If historic trends are a guide Brent appears on the road back to backwardation which occurs when current futures trade higher than

backs
Brent Futures Curve at Narrowest in Two Years
The most extreme contango period in Brent futures coincided with the 2008 financial crisis Brent stayed in contango for 30 months December marked 29 months A Brent crude futures curve returning to backwardation might be a good indicator of OPEC resolve
ENERGY ndash OUTLOOK
On the Road to Improving Total Returns Plunging Energy Contango Energy commodities are likely to be range bound with improving roll yields in 2017 Flattening futures curves indicate improvement in high negative roll yields At the end of 2016 the weighted sum of BCOM energy one-year curves neared 5 in contango vs 19 at the end of 2015 Energy is the primary leader of BCOM flattening curves which reached 25 in February resulting in a yield of negative 32 The flattening energy futures curve was a leading indicator of recovering prices in 2016
Energy Roll Yields Set to Follow Flattening Curve
If the weighted sum of BCOM energy futures curves stays near its levels at the end of December the roll yield could drop toward negative 8 as it did into 2012 This
analysis covers one-year curves so the actual roll yield effect is more indicative Indexes typically roll to contracts a few months out

Metals May Be Back On Inflation or Not
PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Metals May Be a Primary 2017 Indication of Normalized Inflation If the strong performance of metals in 2016 is any indication that inflation is truly normalizing they could regain their historic role as primary beneficiaries and be key indicators in 2017 Metals increased 15 in 2016 led by the 199 gain in the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Subindex and the 95 increase in the precious metals index Industrial metals may have bottomed in 2016 after failing to produce an annual return of greater than 1 since 2010
Industrial Metals Make Play for Normalization
Signs of more Federal Reserve rate tightening and economic normalization should emanate from strength in industrial vs precious metals Gold the largest single weight in the Bloomberg Commodity Index should fulfill its traditional diversifier role if primary capital-asset performance disappoints
Economics Friendlier Industrial Metals Take Baton From Precious Spot silvers 16 increase vs golds 9 advance and industrial metals doubling the gains for precious metals in 2016 indicate a shift to the positive in global economic demand A continuation of this trend may be preferred by most who experienced the potential abyss of negative interest rates and extreme inflation-stimulative polices in 2016 Zinc up 575 in 2016 as measured by the Bloomberg Zinc Subindex and the years best-performing commodity has recovered 50 of the 2006-08 plunge
Copper and zinc have been best performers during tightening cycles Gold the worst-performing metal in 2016 may indicate divergent strength amid strong rallies in stocks and the US dollar Inflation and economic growth typically not bad for gold has been better for copper
METALS - CURVES amp FLOWS
A Copper Trough or Some Excessive Enthusiasm on Record Positions Combined open interest in CME and LME copper futures has surged to a record at the end of 2016 reflecting bullish trader sentiment Indicating potentially excessive enthusiasm meanwhile managed money combined long positions have leaped to all-time highs CME copper positions were about 18 above the previous high from 2010 -- shortly before copper peaked close to $460 a pound Extreme long positions well below that peak near $250 may need to be pared back before sustained price appreciation can occur
Surging Copper Open Interest amp Long Positions
Considered amply supplied copper has risen 16 in 2016 and caught up somewhat in 4Q to the 199 gain in the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Subindex Copper could be a key commodity barometer in 2017 with any stumble being a bearish signal for the commodities market
Copper and Gold Open-Interest Flows Trade Places May Favor Gold A surge to records in gold and silver futures open interest earlier in 2016 indicated that the market was leaning a bit too long Nearing 2017 copper may be in a similarly extreme one-sided position At the end of 2016 coppers percentage change in open interest topped the major commodities with LME and CME copper increasing an average of 39 Similar extreme conditions in managed-money net positions indicate some caution may be warranted in copper
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Copper Leads Open-Interest Gainers
Gold and copper appear to have bottomed from multiyear lows in 2016 but gold may offer increasing relative value as the shift away from the metal may have swung too far Record-high copper open interest and long positions are a bullish endorsement but the balance may need to stabilize somewhat

Industrial Metals May Be Key Fed-Tightening Indicators in 2017 Fed watchers may keep a close eye in 2017 on industrial metals notably copper and zinc -- the best performers in three tightening cycles since 1990 Typically leading indicators copper averaged gains just above 80 with zinc a close second In the last cycle (June 2004-June 2006) copper surged 190 and zinc 220 Zinc is among the best-performing commodities in 2016 up 60 and copper is up 17 Nickel has provided the most consistent returns
Copper the Best Performer in Tightening Cycles
Nickel gains averaged about 40 in the three tightening cycles with a standard deviation of only 17 compared with 94 for copper and 125 for zinc The ratio of performance divided by standard deviation for nickel is 24x vs 09x for copper and 06x for zinc
Gold-to-Copper Ratio Plunge Indicates Opposite in Bond Yields The highest-velocity plunge in the gold-to-copper ratio since the 2009 financial crisis (and from a similar peak) has strong inverse implications for US bond yields The elusive piece of the higher commodities and stocks normalization puzzle in 2016 -- increasing bond yields -- appears to be finally fitting in place after record lows in July Up about 20 bps from 227 at the end of 2015 the US 10-year Treasury yield may reach 3 resistance if the gold-to-copper ratio is a guide
GoldCopper Ratio Peaks amp Coincident Yield Rallies
Far from a perfect indicator the chart depicts that often when copper increases relative to gold with such velocity as in 2H bond yields tend to follow The performance between industrial and precious metals should have strong macro implications in 2017
Gold Futures Curve May Shed Brightest Light on Feds Direction Despite reduced expectations of Fed rate tightening earlier in 2016 the gold one-year futures curve shifted steeper into contango If rates increase less than anticipated the gold curve should flatten from minus 15 at the end of 2016 The curve is consistent with a US Treasury two-year yield near 16 vs 12 currently Since 2000 when the gold curve shifted in a similar fashion the two-year yield peaked near 16 Interest-rate expectations are the main factor in the shape of the gold futures curve
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Gold Futures Curve Consistently Steepened in 2016
At the onset of the tightening cycle in June 2004 two-year yields bottomed in March near 16 as increasing yields led a steepening gold curve In March 2008 two-year yields bottomed again near 16 during the easing cycle The sharply steepening gold futures curve may have shifted to a leadership role
Gold Resilient in 2016 Despite Strong Stock Market and Dollar Gold appears increasingly subject to the direction of the stock market Historically the correlation between the spot price of gold and the SampP 500 is about zero although they have had sustained periods at odds In 2013 golds plunge coincided with the SampP 500s surge past 2007s high of almost 1550 In the 2015-16 transition gold bottomed just above $1000 an ounce as the stock market fell In the aftermath of 2008s financial crisis 2009 and 2010 were years where they trended together
Gold amp Stock Market Love-Hate Relationship
Elongated stock-market risk may be helping gold which has rebounded in 2016 despite the SampP 500s record highs This decade the SampP 500 has increased over 6x real GDP vs 54x in the 1990s bull market the end of which marked a beginning for gold
Metals-Alone Portfolio Can Best Broader Commodities Approach Focusing on metals alone for portfolio allocation has provided better returns than employing a broader range of commodities The chart depicts a diversified portfolio tracking the Bloomberg Precious and Industrial Metals Subindexes and a similar portfolio tracking the broad Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) since 1999 With the same volatility of about 10 the metals-focused diversified index average return was 108 compared with 92 for BCOM Metals have few issues with negative roll yields
Portfolio Tracking Metals Only vs the Broad BCOM
While many commodity prices have been pressured due to rapidly improving technology that has increased supply andor reduced demand notably in energy metals have been hurt less Silver supply for example has steadily increased while electronics have helped shore up demand for the metal

PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Agriculture More Susceptible to Weather Led By Soybeans amp Sugar Agriculture commodities are all about the weather but potentially more so in 2017 as successive years of favorable conditions beat up prices spurring far greater demand The 12 2016 spot increase in the Bloomberg Grains Subindex (BCOM) despite the largest harvest ever may indicate that prices have sufficiently fallen In a year with such a high-velocity increase in production the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex total return of 21 may be a trough signal or be a blip in the bear trend since 2012
If growing conditions maintain the increasingly favorable trend prices may suffer Maintaining record production is more subject to volatility than consumption trends which are often driven by prices
Soybeans and Sugar the 2016 Studs Wheat the Dud
Well Fed Soybeans May Be Key to Agriculture Performance in 2017 Soybeans should again dictate performance in the agriculture sector in 2017 after leading the gainers in 2016 The 13 total return of the soybean complex came despite record production for the most widely traded highest-weighted commodity in the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex If soybeans sputter it will likely be due to another record harvest though the lack of pressure in 2016 was a sign of divergent strength Wheat was 2016s biggest agriculture commodity dud down about 24
Reduced South American production and sharply higher demand supported soybeans in 2016 Classified as an oilseed the 25 gain in palm oil has been a price driver After leading the way to start 2016 sugar fell back partially tethered to weaker corn with ethanol strengthening their connection
Palm Oil May Grease Wheels for Soybeans at 10-Year Discount Not since the 75 soybean rally in 2007 has the palm oil-to-soybean ratio been sustained above the 30 level reached in December Increasing production already at a record may be necessary to damp soybean prices barring a reduction in demand much of which is coming from edible oil Farmers typically are skeptical of soybean oil-driven soybean rallies given that bean meal is the more significant demand source Soybean oil and soybeans have benefited from 2016s shortfall in palm oil production
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Soybeans End 2016 Near Extreme Low to Palm Oil
Malaysias production fell by 15 in the first 11 months of 2016 with Indonesia potentially experiencing a decline in excess of 20 over the same period Substitution has resulted in stronger demand for soybean oil A recovery in palm oil production could potentially damp soybean oil prices
2016 Corn-to-Sugar Six-Year Low May Sweeten Corn in 2017 A recovering corn-to-sugar ratio bodes well for corn On only three occasions since 1990 has this ratio ended lower than 149 reached in 2016 In the prior cases the average increase in the front corn price a year later was about 60 Corn and sugar are different agriculture commodities but becoming increasingly linked via ethanol Brazil is the primary producer and exporter of cane sugar with about 50 used for ethanol The US is the leader in corn with about 35 used for ethanol
Corn-to-Sugar Ratio Recovering From Six-Year Low
Front-sugar futures up 28 in 2016 compared with corn futures (down 2) may have recovered from an extreme disparity but based on history when they were less tightly linked than now US ethanol production pegged near 56
billion liters in 2016 about doubles Brazils
AGRICULTURE - CURVES amp FLOWS
Agriculture Futures Curve Roll Yields Poised to Recover in 2017 The Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex roll-yield and one-year futures curves both steady near minus 5 since 2014 may be poised to improve in 2017 Despite successive record harvests and overall declining prices the agriculture index weighted average futures curve improved to 5 near the end of 2016 vs 6 at the end of 2015 Sugar cotton and soybeans are the primary agriculture commodities in backwardation helping to increase total returns offsetting the steep contango drag from corn and wheat
Agriculture Curve Roll Yields Steady Near 5
Cotton and hard wheat topped the list of agriculture open interest gainers in 2016 increasing 30 and 24 Wheat topped the net-managed money position shorts list but near 109000 contracts is well off 2016s high at 15 million Contrarily cotton positions ended the year near record long
AGRICULTURE ndash OUTLOOK
Weather May Take Starch Out of Price-Driven Grain Bean Gluttony It may take higher prices to reduce the velocity of global corn soybean and wheat consumption which is at a multi-decade high on the back of price declines USDA estimated consumption of corn soybeans and wheat in 2016 is 7 above the five-year average -- the greatest relative increase in 30 years Favorable weather has boosted production and pressured prices making the agriculture market more exposed to the opposite Since August the Bloomberg Grains Subindex has recovered from an eight-year low
The two are clearly related as lower prices equal greater demand The relative velocity of change at multi-decade
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
extremes may be the most relevant Up 12 in 2016 the Bloomberg Grains Spot Subindex has rallied 8 since the end of August likely pricing in some adverse weather risk in 2017 30-Year High in Corn Wheat amp Soybean Consumption
Extreme Soybean Yields in 2016 May Mean Higher Prices in 2017 The USDAs final report for 2016 pegged soybean yields at 525 bushels an acre about 14 above the five-year average Since 1959 this extreme has been beaten once in 1994 when yields increased by 16 Prices slid 22 in 1994 but surged 33 in 1995 as yields normalized back to the average In only six years have soybean yields topped the five-year average by at least 10 and price gains averaged 19 the next year Prices declined 5 on average during years of record yields including 2004s outlier (down 31) Strongest Yields Price Change () Since 1959
Soybeans at $997 a bushel at the end of 2016 are about 43 below 2012s peak of $1770 and 15 off 2016s high Record-high US yields have pushed prices from Junes $1178 peak which came on the back of lower South American production

Brent Futures Curve at Narrowest in Two Years
The most extreme contango period in Brent futures coincided with the 2008 financial crisis Brent stayed in contango for 30 months December marked 29 months A Brent crude futures curve returning to backwardation might be a good indicator of OPEC resolve
ENERGY ndash OUTLOOK
On the Road to Improving Total Returns Plunging Energy Contango Energy commodities are likely to be range bound with improving roll yields in 2017 Flattening futures curves indicate improvement in high negative roll yields At the end of 2016 the weighted sum of BCOM energy one-year curves neared 5 in contango vs 19 at the end of 2015 Energy is the primary leader of BCOM flattening curves which reached 25 in February resulting in a yield of negative 32 The flattening energy futures curve was a leading indicator of recovering prices in 2016
Energy Roll Yields Set to Follow Flattening Curve
If the weighted sum of BCOM energy futures curves stays near its levels at the end of December the roll yield could drop toward negative 8 as it did into 2012 This
analysis covers one-year curves so the actual roll yield effect is more indicative Indexes typically roll to contracts a few months out

Metals May Be Back On Inflation or Not
PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Metals May Be a Primary 2017 Indication of Normalized Inflation If the strong performance of metals in 2016 is any indication that inflation is truly normalizing they could regain their historic role as primary beneficiaries and be key indicators in 2017 Metals increased 15 in 2016 led by the 199 gain in the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Subindex and the 95 increase in the precious metals index Industrial metals may have bottomed in 2016 after failing to produce an annual return of greater than 1 since 2010
Industrial Metals Make Play for Normalization
Signs of more Federal Reserve rate tightening and economic normalization should emanate from strength in industrial vs precious metals Gold the largest single weight in the Bloomberg Commodity Index should fulfill its traditional diversifier role if primary capital-asset performance disappoints
Economics Friendlier Industrial Metals Take Baton From Precious Spot silvers 16 increase vs golds 9 advance and industrial metals doubling the gains for precious metals in 2016 indicate a shift to the positive in global economic demand A continuation of this trend may be preferred by most who experienced the potential abyss of negative interest rates and extreme inflation-stimulative polices in 2016 Zinc up 575 in 2016 as measured by the Bloomberg Zinc Subindex and the years best-performing commodity has recovered 50 of the 2006-08 plunge
Copper and zinc have been best performers during tightening cycles Gold the worst-performing metal in 2016 may indicate divergent strength amid strong rallies in stocks and the US dollar Inflation and economic growth typically not bad for gold has been better for copper
METALS - CURVES amp FLOWS
A Copper Trough or Some Excessive Enthusiasm on Record Positions Combined open interest in CME and LME copper futures has surged to a record at the end of 2016 reflecting bullish trader sentiment Indicating potentially excessive enthusiasm meanwhile managed money combined long positions have leaped to all-time highs CME copper positions were about 18 above the previous high from 2010 -- shortly before copper peaked close to $460 a pound Extreme long positions well below that peak near $250 may need to be pared back before sustained price appreciation can occur
Surging Copper Open Interest amp Long Positions
Considered amply supplied copper has risen 16 in 2016 and caught up somewhat in 4Q to the 199 gain in the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Subindex Copper could be a key commodity barometer in 2017 with any stumble being a bearish signal for the commodities market
Copper and Gold Open-Interest Flows Trade Places May Favor Gold A surge to records in gold and silver futures open interest earlier in 2016 indicated that the market was leaning a bit too long Nearing 2017 copper may be in a similarly extreme one-sided position At the end of 2016 coppers percentage change in open interest topped the major commodities with LME and CME copper increasing an average of 39 Similar extreme conditions in managed-money net positions indicate some caution may be warranted in copper
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Copper Leads Open-Interest Gainers
Gold and copper appear to have bottomed from multiyear lows in 2016 but gold may offer increasing relative value as the shift away from the metal may have swung too far Record-high copper open interest and long positions are a bullish endorsement but the balance may need to stabilize somewhat
METALS - OUTLOOK
Industrial Metals May Be Key Fed-Tightening Indicators in 2017 Fed watchers may keep a close eye in 2017 on industrial metals notably copper and zinc -- the best performers in three tightening cycles since 1990 Typically leading indicators copper averaged gains just above 80 with zinc a close second In the last cycle (June 2004-June 2006) copper surged 190 and zinc 220 Zinc is among the best-performing commodities in 2016 up 60 and copper is up 17 Nickel has provided the most consistent returns
Copper the Best Performer in Tightening Cycles
Nickel gains averaged about 40 in the three tightening cycles with a standard deviation of only 17 compared with 94 for copper and 125 for zinc The ratio of performance divided by standard deviation for nickel is 24x vs 09x for copper and 06x for zinc
Gold-to-Copper Ratio Plunge Indicates Opposite in Bond Yields The highest-velocity plunge in the gold-to-copper ratio since the 2009 financial crisis (and from a similar peak) has strong inverse implications for US bond yields The elusive piece of the higher commodities and stocks normalization puzzle in 2016 -- increasing bond yields -- appears to be finally fitting in place after record lows in July Up about 20 bps from 227 at the end of 2015 the US 10-year Treasury yield may reach 3 resistance if the gold-to-copper ratio is a guide
GoldCopper Ratio Peaks amp Coincident Yield Rallies
Far from a perfect indicator the chart depicts that often when copper increases relative to gold with such velocity as in 2H bond yields tend to follow The performance between industrial and precious metals should have strong macro implications in 2017
Gold Futures Curve May Shed Brightest Light on Feds Direction Despite reduced expectations of Fed rate tightening earlier in 2016 the gold one-year futures curve shifted steeper into contango If rates increase less than anticipated the gold curve should flatten from minus 15 at the end of 2016 The curve is consistent with a US Treasury two-year yield near 16 vs 12 currently Since 2000 when the gold curve shifted in a similar fashion the two-year yield peaked near 16 Interest-rate expectations are the main factor in the shape of the gold futures curve
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Gold Futures Curve Consistently Steepened in 2016
At the onset of the tightening cycle in June 2004 two-year yields bottomed in March near 16 as increasing yields led a steepening gold curve In March 2008 two-year yields bottomed again near 16 during the easing cycle The sharply steepening gold futures curve may have shifted to a leadership role
Gold Resilient in 2016 Despite Strong Stock Market and Dollar Gold appears increasingly subject to the direction of the stock market Historically the correlation between the spot price of gold and the SampP 500 is about zero although they have had sustained periods at odds In 2013 golds plunge coincided with the SampP 500s surge past 2007s high of almost 1550 In the 2015-16 transition gold bottomed just above $1000 an ounce as the stock market fell In the aftermath of 2008s financial crisis 2009 and 2010 were years where they trended together
Gold amp Stock Market Love-Hate Relationship
Elongated stock-market risk may be helping gold which has rebounded in 2016 despite the SampP 500s record highs This decade the SampP 500 has increased over 6x real GDP vs 54x in the 1990s bull market the end of which marked a beginning for gold
Metals-Alone Portfolio Can Best Broader Commodities Approach Focusing on metals alone for portfolio allocation has provided better returns than employing a broader range of commodities The chart depicts a diversified portfolio tracking the Bloomberg Precious and Industrial Metals Subindexes and a similar portfolio tracking the broad Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) since 1999 With the same volatility of about 10 the metals-focused diversified index average return was 108 compared with 92 for BCOM Metals have few issues with negative roll yields
Portfolio Tracking Metals Only vs the Broad BCOM
While many commodity prices have been pressured due to rapidly improving technology that has increased supply andor reduced demand notably in energy metals have been hurt less Silver supply for example has steadily increased while electronics have helped shore up demand for the metal

PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Agriculture More Susceptible to Weather Led By Soybeans amp Sugar Agriculture commodities are all about the weather but potentially more so in 2017 as successive years of favorable conditions beat up prices spurring far greater demand The 12 2016 spot increase in the Bloomberg Grains Subindex (BCOM) despite the largest harvest ever may indicate that prices have sufficiently fallen In a year with such a high-velocity increase in production the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex total return of 21 may be a trough signal or be a blip in the bear trend since 2012
If growing conditions maintain the increasingly favorable trend prices may suffer Maintaining record production is more subject to volatility than consumption trends which are often driven by prices
Soybeans and Sugar the 2016 Studs Wheat the Dud
Well Fed Soybeans May Be Key to Agriculture Performance in 2017 Soybeans should again dictate performance in the agriculture sector in 2017 after leading the gainers in 2016 The 13 total return of the soybean complex came despite record production for the most widely traded highest-weighted commodity in the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex If soybeans sputter it will likely be due to another record harvest though the lack of pressure in 2016 was a sign of divergent strength Wheat was 2016s biggest agriculture commodity dud down about 24
Reduced South American production and sharply higher demand supported soybeans in 2016 Classified as an oilseed the 25 gain in palm oil has been a price driver After leading the way to start 2016 sugar fell back partially tethered to weaker corn with ethanol strengthening their connection
Palm Oil May Grease Wheels for Soybeans at 10-Year Discount Not since the 75 soybean rally in 2007 has the palm oil-to-soybean ratio been sustained above the 30 level reached in December Increasing production already at a record may be necessary to damp soybean prices barring a reduction in demand much of which is coming from edible oil Farmers typically are skeptical of soybean oil-driven soybean rallies given that bean meal is the more significant demand source Soybean oil and soybeans have benefited from 2016s shortfall in palm oil production
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Soybeans End 2016 Near Extreme Low to Palm Oil
Malaysias production fell by 15 in the first 11 months of 2016 with Indonesia potentially experiencing a decline in excess of 20 over the same period Substitution has resulted in stronger demand for soybean oil A recovery in palm oil production could potentially damp soybean oil prices
2016 Corn-to-Sugar Six-Year Low May Sweeten Corn in 2017 A recovering corn-to-sugar ratio bodes well for corn On only three occasions since 1990 has this ratio ended lower than 149 reached in 2016 In the prior cases the average increase in the front corn price a year later was about 60 Corn and sugar are different agriculture commodities but becoming increasingly linked via ethanol Brazil is the primary producer and exporter of cane sugar with about 50 used for ethanol The US is the leader in corn with about 35 used for ethanol
Corn-to-Sugar Ratio Recovering From Six-Year Low
Front-sugar futures up 28 in 2016 compared with corn futures (down 2) may have recovered from an extreme disparity but based on history when they were less tightly linked than now US ethanol production pegged near 56
billion liters in 2016 about doubles Brazils
AGRICULTURE - CURVES amp FLOWS
Agriculture Futures Curve Roll Yields Poised to Recover in 2017 The Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex roll-yield and one-year futures curves both steady near minus 5 since 2014 may be poised to improve in 2017 Despite successive record harvests and overall declining prices the agriculture index weighted average futures curve improved to 5 near the end of 2016 vs 6 at the end of 2015 Sugar cotton and soybeans are the primary agriculture commodities in backwardation helping to increase total returns offsetting the steep contango drag from corn and wheat
Agriculture Curve Roll Yields Steady Near 5
Cotton and hard wheat topped the list of agriculture open interest gainers in 2016 increasing 30 and 24 Wheat topped the net-managed money position shorts list but near 109000 contracts is well off 2016s high at 15 million Contrarily cotton positions ended the year near record long
AGRICULTURE ndash OUTLOOK
Weather May Take Starch Out of Price-Driven Grain Bean Gluttony It may take higher prices to reduce the velocity of global corn soybean and wheat consumption which is at a multi-decade high on the back of price declines USDA estimated consumption of corn soybeans and wheat in 2016 is 7 above the five-year average -- the greatest relative increase in 30 years Favorable weather has boosted production and pressured prices making the agriculture market more exposed to the opposite Since August the Bloomberg Grains Subindex has recovered from an eight-year low
The two are clearly related as lower prices equal greater demand The relative velocity of change at multi-decade
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
extremes may be the most relevant Up 12 in 2016 the Bloomberg Grains Spot Subindex has rallied 8 since the end of August likely pricing in some adverse weather risk in 2017 30-Year High in Corn Wheat amp Soybean Consumption
Extreme Soybean Yields in 2016 May Mean Higher Prices in 2017 The USDAs final report for 2016 pegged soybean yields at 525 bushels an acre about 14 above the five-year average Since 1959 this extreme has been beaten once in 1994 when yields increased by 16 Prices slid 22 in 1994 but surged 33 in 1995 as yields normalized back to the average In only six years have soybean yields topped the five-year average by at least 10 and price gains averaged 19 the next year Prices declined 5 on average during years of record yields including 2004s outlier (down 31) Strongest Yields Price Change () Since 1959
Soybeans at $997 a bushel at the end of 2016 are about 43 below 2012s peak of $1770 and 15 off 2016s high Record-high US yields have pushed prices from Junes $1178 peak which came on the back of lower South American production

Precious (Index weight 147 of BCOMPerformance Dec -22 YTD +95 Spot +106)
Metals May Be Back On Inflation or Not
PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Metals May Be a Primary 2017 Indication of Normalized Inflation If the strong performance of metals in 2016 is any indication that inflation is truly normalizing they could regain their historic role as primary beneficiaries and be key indicators in 2017 Metals increased 15 in 2016 led by the 199 gain in the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Subindex and the 95 increase in the precious metals index Industrial metals may have bottomed in 2016 after failing to produce an annual return of greater than 1 since 2010
Industrial Metals Make Play for Normalization
Signs of more Federal Reserve rate tightening and economic normalization should emanate from strength in industrial vs precious metals Gold the largest single weight in the Bloomberg Commodity Index should fulfill its traditional diversifier role if primary capital-asset performance disappoints
Economics Friendlier Industrial Metals Take Baton From Precious Spot silvers 16 increase vs golds 9 advance and industrial metals doubling the gains for precious metals in 2016 indicate a shift to the positive in global economic demand A continuation of this trend may be preferred by most who experienced the potential abyss of negative interest rates and extreme inflation-stimulative polices in 2016 Zinc up 575 in 2016 as measured by the Bloomberg Zinc Subindex and the years best-performing commodity has recovered 50 of the 2006-08 plunge
Copper and zinc have been best performers during tightening cycles Gold the worst-performing metal in 2016 may indicate divergent strength amid strong rallies in stocks and the US dollar Inflation and economic growth typically not bad for gold has been better for copper
METALS - CURVES amp FLOWS
A Copper Trough or Some Excessive Enthusiasm on Record Positions Combined open interest in CME and LME copper futures has surged to a record at the end of 2016 reflecting bullish trader sentiment Indicating potentially excessive enthusiasm meanwhile managed money combined long positions have leaped to all-time highs CME copper positions were about 18 above the previous high from 2010 -- shortly before copper peaked close to $460 a pound Extreme long positions well below that peak near $250 may need to be pared back before sustained price appreciation can occur
Surging Copper Open Interest amp Long Positions
Considered amply supplied copper has risen 16 in 2016 and caught up somewhat in 4Q to the 199 gain in the Bloomberg Industrial Metals Subindex Copper could be a key commodity barometer in 2017 with any stumble being a bearish signal for the commodities market
Copper and Gold Open-Interest Flows Trade Places May Favor Gold A surge to records in gold and silver futures open interest earlier in 2016 indicated that the market was leaning a bit too long Nearing 2017 copper may be in a similarly extreme one-sided position At the end of 2016 coppers percentage change in open interest topped the major commodities with LME and CME copper increasing an average of 39 Similar extreme conditions in managed-money net positions indicate some caution may be warranted in copper
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Copper Leads Open-Interest Gainers
Gold and copper appear to have bottomed from multiyear lows in 2016 but gold may offer increasing relative value as the shift away from the metal may have swung too far Record-high copper open interest and long positions are a bullish endorsement but the balance may need to stabilize somewhat
METALS - OUTLOOK
Industrial Metals May Be Key Fed-Tightening Indicators in 2017 Fed watchers may keep a close eye in 2017 on industrial metals notably copper and zinc -- the best performers in three tightening cycles since 1990 Typically leading indicators copper averaged gains just above 80 with zinc a close second In the last cycle (June 2004-June 2006) copper surged 190 and zinc 220 Zinc is among the best-performing commodities in 2016 up 60 and copper is up 17 Nickel has provided the most consistent returns
Copper the Best Performer in Tightening Cycles
Nickel gains averaged about 40 in the three tightening cycles with a standard deviation of only 17 compared with 94 for copper and 125 for zinc The ratio of performance divided by standard deviation for nickel is 24x vs 09x for copper and 06x for zinc
Gold-to-Copper Ratio Plunge Indicates Opposite in Bond Yields The highest-velocity plunge in the gold-to-copper ratio since the 2009 financial crisis (and from a similar peak) has strong inverse implications for US bond yields The elusive piece of the higher commodities and stocks normalization puzzle in 2016 -- increasing bond yields -- appears to be finally fitting in place after record lows in July Up about 20 bps from 227 at the end of 2015 the US 10-year Treasury yield may reach 3 resistance if the gold-to-copper ratio is a guide
GoldCopper Ratio Peaks amp Coincident Yield Rallies
Far from a perfect indicator the chart depicts that often when copper increases relative to gold with such velocity as in 2H bond yields tend to follow The performance between industrial and precious metals should have strong macro implications in 2017
Gold Futures Curve May Shed Brightest Light on Feds Direction Despite reduced expectations of Fed rate tightening earlier in 2016 the gold one-year futures curve shifted steeper into contango If rates increase less than anticipated the gold curve should flatten from minus 15 at the end of 2016 The curve is consistent with a US Treasury two-year yield near 16 vs 12 currently Since 2000 when the gold curve shifted in a similar fashion the two-year yield peaked near 16 Interest-rate expectations are the main factor in the shape of the gold futures curve
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Gold Futures Curve Consistently Steepened in 2016
At the onset of the tightening cycle in June 2004 two-year yields bottomed in March near 16 as increasing yields led a steepening gold curve In March 2008 two-year yields bottomed again near 16 during the easing cycle The sharply steepening gold futures curve may have shifted to a leadership role
Gold Resilient in 2016 Despite Strong Stock Market and Dollar Gold appears increasingly subject to the direction of the stock market Historically the correlation between the spot price of gold and the SampP 500 is about zero although they have had sustained periods at odds In 2013 golds plunge coincided with the SampP 500s surge past 2007s high of almost 1550 In the 2015-16 transition gold bottomed just above $1000 an ounce as the stock market fell In the aftermath of 2008s financial crisis 2009 and 2010 were years where they trended together
Gold amp Stock Market Love-Hate Relationship
Elongated stock-market risk may be helping gold which has rebounded in 2016 despite the SampP 500s record highs This decade the SampP 500 has increased over 6x real GDP vs 54x in the 1990s bull market the end of which marked a beginning for gold
Metals-Alone Portfolio Can Best Broader Commodities Approach Focusing on metals alone for portfolio allocation has provided better returns than employing a broader range of commodities The chart depicts a diversified portfolio tracking the Bloomberg Precious and Industrial Metals Subindexes and a similar portfolio tracking the broad Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) since 1999 With the same volatility of about 10 the metals-focused diversified index average return was 108 compared with 92 for BCOM Metals have few issues with negative roll yields
Portfolio Tracking Metals Only vs the Broad BCOM
While many commodity prices have been pressured due to rapidly improving technology that has increased supply andor reduced demand notably in energy metals have been hurt less Silver supply for example has steadily increased while electronics have helped shore up demand for the metal

PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Agriculture More Susceptible to Weather Led By Soybeans amp Sugar Agriculture commodities are all about the weather but potentially more so in 2017 as successive years of favorable conditions beat up prices spurring far greater demand The 12 2016 spot increase in the Bloomberg Grains Subindex (BCOM) despite the largest harvest ever may indicate that prices have sufficiently fallen In a year with such a high-velocity increase in production the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex total return of 21 may be a trough signal or be a blip in the bear trend since 2012
If growing conditions maintain the increasingly favorable trend prices may suffer Maintaining record production is more subject to volatility than consumption trends which are often driven by prices
Soybeans and Sugar the 2016 Studs Wheat the Dud
Well Fed Soybeans May Be Key to Agriculture Performance in 2017 Soybeans should again dictate performance in the agriculture sector in 2017 after leading the gainers in 2016 The 13 total return of the soybean complex came despite record production for the most widely traded highest-weighted commodity in the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex If soybeans sputter it will likely be due to another record harvest though the lack of pressure in 2016 was a sign of divergent strength Wheat was 2016s biggest agriculture commodity dud down about 24
Reduced South American production and sharply higher demand supported soybeans in 2016 Classified as an oilseed the 25 gain in palm oil has been a price driver After leading the way to start 2016 sugar fell back partially tethered to weaker corn with ethanol strengthening their connection
Palm Oil May Grease Wheels for Soybeans at 10-Year Discount Not since the 75 soybean rally in 2007 has the palm oil-to-soybean ratio been sustained above the 30 level reached in December Increasing production already at a record may be necessary to damp soybean prices barring a reduction in demand much of which is coming from edible oil Farmers typically are skeptical of soybean oil-driven soybean rallies given that bean meal is the more significant demand source Soybean oil and soybeans have benefited from 2016s shortfall in palm oil production
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Soybeans End 2016 Near Extreme Low to Palm Oil
Malaysias production fell by 15 in the first 11 months of 2016 with Indonesia potentially experiencing a decline in excess of 20 over the same period Substitution has resulted in stronger demand for soybean oil A recovery in palm oil production could potentially damp soybean oil prices
2016 Corn-to-Sugar Six-Year Low May Sweeten Corn in 2017 A recovering corn-to-sugar ratio bodes well for corn On only three occasions since 1990 has this ratio ended lower than 149 reached in 2016 In the prior cases the average increase in the front corn price a year later was about 60 Corn and sugar are different agriculture commodities but becoming increasingly linked via ethanol Brazil is the primary producer and exporter of cane sugar with about 50 used for ethanol The US is the leader in corn with about 35 used for ethanol
Corn-to-Sugar Ratio Recovering From Six-Year Low
Front-sugar futures up 28 in 2016 compared with corn futures (down 2) may have recovered from an extreme disparity but based on history when they were less tightly linked than now US ethanol production pegged near 56
billion liters in 2016 about doubles Brazils
AGRICULTURE - CURVES amp FLOWS
Agriculture Futures Curve Roll Yields Poised to Recover in 2017 The Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex roll-yield and one-year futures curves both steady near minus 5 since 2014 may be poised to improve in 2017 Despite successive record harvests and overall declining prices the agriculture index weighted average futures curve improved to 5 near the end of 2016 vs 6 at the end of 2015 Sugar cotton and soybeans are the primary agriculture commodities in backwardation helping to increase total returns offsetting the steep contango drag from corn and wheat
Agriculture Curve Roll Yields Steady Near 5
Cotton and hard wheat topped the list of agriculture open interest gainers in 2016 increasing 30 and 24 Wheat topped the net-managed money position shorts list but near 109000 contracts is well off 2016s high at 15 million Contrarily cotton positions ended the year near record long
AGRICULTURE ndash OUTLOOK
Weather May Take Starch Out of Price-Driven Grain Bean Gluttony It may take higher prices to reduce the velocity of global corn soybean and wheat consumption which is at a multi-decade high on the back of price declines USDA estimated consumption of corn soybeans and wheat in 2016 is 7 above the five-year average -- the greatest relative increase in 30 years Favorable weather has boosted production and pressured prices making the agriculture market more exposed to the opposite Since August the Bloomberg Grains Subindex has recovered from an eight-year low
The two are clearly related as lower prices equal greater demand The relative velocity of change at multi-decade
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
extremes may be the most relevant Up 12 in 2016 the Bloomberg Grains Spot Subindex has rallied 8 since the end of August likely pricing in some adverse weather risk in 2017 30-Year High in Corn Wheat amp Soybean Consumption
Extreme Soybean Yields in 2016 May Mean Higher Prices in 2017 The USDAs final report for 2016 pegged soybean yields at 525 bushels an acre about 14 above the five-year average Since 1959 this extreme has been beaten once in 1994 when yields increased by 16 Prices slid 22 in 1994 but surged 33 in 1995 as yields normalized back to the average In only six years have soybean yields topped the five-year average by at least 10 and price gains averaged 19 the next year Prices declined 5 on average during years of record yields including 2004s outlier (down 31) Strongest Yields Price Change () Since 1959
Soybeans at $997 a bushel at the end of 2016 are about 43 below 2012s peak of $1770 and 15 off 2016s high Record-high US yields have pushed prices from Junes $1178 peak which came on the back of lower South American production

Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Copper Leads Open-Interest Gainers
Gold and copper appear to have bottomed from multiyear lows in 2016 but gold may offer increasing relative value as the shift away from the metal may have swung too far Record-high copper open interest and long positions are a bullish endorsement but the balance may need to stabilize somewhat
METALS - OUTLOOK
Industrial Metals May Be Key Fed-Tightening Indicators in 2017 Fed watchers may keep a close eye in 2017 on industrial metals notably copper and zinc -- the best performers in three tightening cycles since 1990 Typically leading indicators copper averaged gains just above 80 with zinc a close second In the last cycle (June 2004-June 2006) copper surged 190 and zinc 220 Zinc is among the best-performing commodities in 2016 up 60 and copper is up 17 Nickel has provided the most consistent returns
Copper the Best Performer in Tightening Cycles
Nickel gains averaged about 40 in the three tightening cycles with a standard deviation of only 17 compared with 94 for copper and 125 for zinc The ratio of performance divided by standard deviation for nickel is 24x vs 09x for copper and 06x for zinc
Gold-to-Copper Ratio Plunge Indicates Opposite in Bond Yields The highest-velocity plunge in the gold-to-copper ratio since the 2009 financial crisis (and from a similar peak) has strong inverse implications for US bond yields The elusive piece of the higher commodities and stocks normalization puzzle in 2016 -- increasing bond yields -- appears to be finally fitting in place after record lows in July Up about 20 bps from 227 at the end of 2015 the US 10-year Treasury yield may reach 3 resistance if the gold-to-copper ratio is a guide
GoldCopper Ratio Peaks amp Coincident Yield Rallies
Far from a perfect indicator the chart depicts that often when copper increases relative to gold with such velocity as in 2H bond yields tend to follow The performance between industrial and precious metals should have strong macro implications in 2017
Gold Futures Curve May Shed Brightest Light on Feds Direction Despite reduced expectations of Fed rate tightening earlier in 2016 the gold one-year futures curve shifted steeper into contango If rates increase less than anticipated the gold curve should flatten from minus 15 at the end of 2016 The curve is consistent with a US Treasury two-year yield near 16 vs 12 currently Since 2000 when the gold curve shifted in a similar fashion the two-year yield peaked near 16 Interest-rate expectations are the main factor in the shape of the gold futures curve
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Gold Futures Curve Consistently Steepened in 2016
At the onset of the tightening cycle in June 2004 two-year yields bottomed in March near 16 as increasing yields led a steepening gold curve In March 2008 two-year yields bottomed again near 16 during the easing cycle The sharply steepening gold futures curve may have shifted to a leadership role
Gold Resilient in 2016 Despite Strong Stock Market and Dollar Gold appears increasingly subject to the direction of the stock market Historically the correlation between the spot price of gold and the SampP 500 is about zero although they have had sustained periods at odds In 2013 golds plunge coincided with the SampP 500s surge past 2007s high of almost 1550 In the 2015-16 transition gold bottomed just above $1000 an ounce as the stock market fell In the aftermath of 2008s financial crisis 2009 and 2010 were years where they trended together
Gold amp Stock Market Love-Hate Relationship
Elongated stock-market risk may be helping gold which has rebounded in 2016 despite the SampP 500s record highs This decade the SampP 500 has increased over 6x real GDP vs 54x in the 1990s bull market the end of which marked a beginning for gold
Metals-Alone Portfolio Can Best Broader Commodities Approach Focusing on metals alone for portfolio allocation has provided better returns than employing a broader range of commodities The chart depicts a diversified portfolio tracking the Bloomberg Precious and Industrial Metals Subindexes and a similar portfolio tracking the broad Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) since 1999 With the same volatility of about 10 the metals-focused diversified index average return was 108 compared with 92 for BCOM Metals have few issues with negative roll yields
Portfolio Tracking Metals Only vs the Broad BCOM
While many commodity prices have been pressured due to rapidly improving technology that has increased supply andor reduced demand notably in energy metals have been hurt less Silver supply for example has steadily increased while electronics have helped shore up demand for the metal

PERFORMANCE DRIVERS
Agriculture More Susceptible to Weather Led By Soybeans amp Sugar Agriculture commodities are all about the weather but potentially more so in 2017 as successive years of favorable conditions beat up prices spurring far greater demand The 12 2016 spot increase in the Bloomberg Grains Subindex (BCOM) despite the largest harvest ever may indicate that prices have sufficiently fallen In a year with such a high-velocity increase in production the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex total return of 21 may be a trough signal or be a blip in the bear trend since 2012
If growing conditions maintain the increasingly favorable trend prices may suffer Maintaining record production is more subject to volatility than consumption trends which are often driven by prices
Soybeans and Sugar the 2016 Studs Wheat the Dud
Well Fed Soybeans May Be Key to Agriculture Performance in 2017 Soybeans should again dictate performance in the agriculture sector in 2017 after leading the gainers in 2016 The 13 total return of the soybean complex came despite record production for the most widely traded highest-weighted commodity in the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex If soybeans sputter it will likely be due to another record harvest though the lack of pressure in 2016 was a sign of divergent strength Wheat was 2016s biggest agriculture commodity dud down about 24
Reduced South American production and sharply higher demand supported soybeans in 2016 Classified as an oilseed the 25 gain in palm oil has been a price driver After leading the way to start 2016 sugar fell back partially tethered to weaker corn with ethanol strengthening their connection
Palm Oil May Grease Wheels for Soybeans at 10-Year Discount Not since the 75 soybean rally in 2007 has the palm oil-to-soybean ratio been sustained above the 30 level reached in December Increasing production already at a record may be necessary to damp soybean prices barring a reduction in demand much of which is coming from edible oil Farmers typically are skeptical of soybean oil-driven soybean rallies given that bean meal is the more significant demand source Soybean oil and soybeans have benefited from 2016s shortfall in palm oil production
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Soybeans End 2016 Near Extreme Low to Palm Oil
Malaysias production fell by 15 in the first 11 months of 2016 with Indonesia potentially experiencing a decline in excess of 20 over the same period Substitution has resulted in stronger demand for soybean oil A recovery in palm oil production could potentially damp soybean oil prices
2016 Corn-to-Sugar Six-Year Low May Sweeten Corn in 2017 A recovering corn-to-sugar ratio bodes well for corn On only three occasions since 1990 has this ratio ended lower than 149 reached in 2016 In the prior cases the average increase in the front corn price a year later was about 60 Corn and sugar are different agriculture commodities but becoming increasingly linked via ethanol Brazil is the primary producer and exporter of cane sugar with about 50 used for ethanol The US is the leader in corn with about 35 used for ethanol
Corn-to-Sugar Ratio Recovering From Six-Year Low
Front-sugar futures up 28 in 2016 compared with corn futures (down 2) may have recovered from an extreme disparity but based on history when they were less tightly linked than now US ethanol production pegged near 56
billion liters in 2016 about doubles Brazils
AGRICULTURE - CURVES amp FLOWS
Agriculture Futures Curve Roll Yields Poised to Recover in 2017 The Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex roll-yield and one-year futures curves both steady near minus 5 since 2014 may be poised to improve in 2017 Despite successive record harvests and overall declining prices the agriculture index weighted average futures curve improved to 5 near the end of 2016 vs 6 at the end of 2015 Sugar cotton and soybeans are the primary agriculture commodities in backwardation helping to increase total returns offsetting the steep contango drag from corn and wheat
Agriculture Curve Roll Yields Steady Near 5
Cotton and hard wheat topped the list of agriculture open interest gainers in 2016 increasing 30 and 24 Wheat topped the net-managed money position shorts list but near 109000 contracts is well off 2016s high at 15 million Contrarily cotton positions ended the year near record long
AGRICULTURE ndash OUTLOOK
Weather May Take Starch Out of Price-Driven Grain Bean Gluttony It may take higher prices to reduce the velocity of global corn soybean and wheat consumption which is at a multi-decade high on the back of price declines USDA estimated consumption of corn soybeans and wheat in 2016 is 7 above the five-year average -- the greatest relative increase in 30 years Favorable weather has boosted production and pressured prices making the agriculture market more exposed to the opposite Since August the Bloomberg Grains Subindex has recovered from an eight-year low
The two are clearly related as lower prices equal greater demand The relative velocity of change at multi-decade
Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
extremes may be the most relevant Up 12 in 2016 the Bloomberg Grains Spot Subindex has rallied 8 since the end of August likely pricing in some adverse weather risk in 2017 30-Year High in Corn Wheat amp Soybean Consumption
Extreme Soybean Yields in 2016 May Mean Higher Prices in 2017 The USDAs final report for 2016 pegged soybean yields at 525 bushels an acre about 14 above the five-year average Since 1959 this extreme has been beaten once in 1994 when yields increased by 16 Prices slid 22 in 1994 but surged 33 in 1995 as yields normalized back to the average In only six years have soybean yields topped the five-year average by at least 10 and price gains averaged 19 the next year Prices declined 5 on average during years of record yields including 2004s outlier (down 31) Strongest Yields Price Change () Since 1959
Soybeans at $997 a bushel at the end of 2016 are about 43 below 2012s peak of $1770 and 15 off 2016s high Record-high US yields have pushed prices from Junes $1178 peak which came on the back of lower South American production

Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) Tables amp Charts ndash December 2016 Edition
Gold Futures Curve Consistently Steepened in 2016
At the onset of the tightening cycle in June 2004 two-year yields bottomed in March near 16 as increasing yields led a steepening gold curve In March 2008 two-year yields bottomed again near 16 during the easing cycle The sharply steepening gold futures curve may have shifted to a leadership role
Gold Resilient in 2016 Despite Strong Stock Market and Dollar Gold appears increasingly subject to the direction of the stock market Historically the correlation between the spot price of gold and the SampP 500 is about zero although they have had sustained periods at odds In 2013 golds plunge coincided with the SampP 500s surge past 2007s high of almost 1550 In the 2015-16 transition gold bottomed just above $1000 an ounce as the stock market fell In the aftermath of 2008s financial crisis 2009 and 2010 were years where they trended together
Gold amp Stock Market Love-Hate Relationship
Elongated stock-market risk may be helping gold which has rebounded in 2016 despite the SampP 500s record highs This decade the SampP 500 has increased over 6x real GDP vs 54x in the 1990s bull market the end of which marked a beginning for gold
Metals-Alone Portfolio Can Best Broader Commodities Approach Focusing on metals alone for portfolio allocation has provided better returns than employing a broader range of commodities The chart depicts a diversified portfolio tracking the Bloomberg Precious and Industrial Metals Subindexes and a similar portfolio tracking the broad Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) since 1999 With the same volatility of about 10 the metals-focused diversified index average return was 108 compared with 92 for BCOM Metals have few issues with negative roll yields
Portfolio Tracking Metals Only vs the Broad BCOM
While many commodity prices have been pressured due to rapidly improving technology that has increased supply andor reduced demand notably in energy metals have been hurt less Silver supply for example has steadily increased while electronics have helped shore up demand for the metal

Agriculture More Susceptible to Weather Led By Soybeans amp Sugar Agriculture commodities are all about the weather but potentially more so in 2017 as successive years of favorable conditions beat up prices spurring far greater demand The 12 2016 spot increase in the Bloomberg Grains Subindex (BCOM) despite the largest harvest ever may indicate that prices have sufficiently fallen In a year with such a high-velocity increase in production the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex total return of 21 may be a trough signal or be a blip in the bear trend since 2012
If growing conditions maintain the increasingly favorable trend prices may suffer Maintaining record production is more subject to volatility than consumption trends which are often driven by prices
Soybeans and Sugar the 2016 Studs Wheat the Dud
Well Fed Soybeans May Be Key to Agriculture Performance in 2017 Soybeans should again dictate performance in the agriculture sector in 2017 after leading the gainers in 2016 The 13 total return of the soybean complex came despite record production for the most widely traded highest-weighted commodity in the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex If soybeans sputter it will likely be due to another record harvest though the lack of pressure in 2016 was a sign of divergent strength Wheat was 2016s biggest agriculture commodity dud down about 24
Reduced South American production and sharply higher demand supported soybeans in 2016 Classified as an oilseed the 25 gain in palm oil has been a price driver After leading the way to start 2016 sugar fell back partially tethered to weaker corn with ethanol strengthening their connection
Palm Oil May Grease Wheels for Soybeans at 10-Year Discount Not since the 75 soybean rally in 2007 has the palm oil-to-soybean ratio been sustained above the 30 level reached in December Increasing production already at a record may be necessary to damp soybean prices barring a reduction in demand much of which is coming from edible oil Farmers typically are skeptical of soybean oil-driven soybean rallies given that bean meal is the more significant demand source Soybean oil and soybeans have benefited from 2016s shortfall in palm oil production

Soybeans End 2016 Near Extreme Low to Palm Oil
Malaysias production fell by 15 in the first 11 months of 2016 with Indonesia potentially experiencing a decline in excess of 20 over the same period Substitution has resulted in stronger demand for soybean oil A recovery in palm oil production could potentially damp soybean oil prices
2016 Corn-to-Sugar Six-Year Low May Sweeten Corn in 2017 A recovering corn-to-sugar ratio bodes well for corn On only three occasions since 1990 has this ratio ended lower than 149 reached in 2016 In the prior cases the average increase in the front corn price a year later was about 60 Corn and sugar are different agriculture commodities but becoming increasingly linked via ethanol Brazil is the primary producer and exporter of cane sugar with about 50 used for ethanol The US is the leader in corn with about 35 used for ethanol
Corn-to-Sugar Ratio Recovering From Six-Year Low
Front-sugar futures up 28 in 2016 compared with corn futures (down 2) may have recovered from an extreme disparity but based on history when they were less tightly linked than now US ethanol production pegged near 56
billion liters in 2016 about doubles Brazils
AGRICULTURE - CURVES amp FLOWS
Agriculture Futures Curve Roll Yields Poised to Recover in 2017 The Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex roll-yield and one-year futures curves both steady near minus 5 since 2014 may be poised to improve in 2017 Despite successive record harvests and overall declining prices the agriculture index weighted average futures curve improved to 5 near the end of 2016 vs 6 at the end of 2015 Sugar cotton and soybeans are the primary agriculture commodities in backwardation helping to increase total returns offsetting the steep contango drag from corn and wheat
Agriculture Curve Roll Yields Steady Near 5
Cotton and hard wheat topped the list of agriculture open interest gainers in 2016 increasing 30 and 24 Wheat topped the net-managed money position shorts list but near 109000 contracts is well off 2016s high at 15 million Contrarily cotton positions ended the year near record long
AGRICULTURE ndash OUTLOOK
Weather May Take Starch Out of Price-Driven Grain Bean Gluttony It may take higher prices to reduce the velocity of global corn soybean and wheat consumption which is at a multi-decade high on the back of price declines USDA estimated consumption of corn soybeans and wheat in 2016 is 7 above the five-year average -- the greatest relative increase in 30 years Favorable weather has boosted production and pressured prices making the agriculture market more exposed to the opposite Since August the Bloomberg Grains Subindex has recovered from an eight-year low
The two are clearly related as lower prices equal greater demand The relative velocity of change at multi-decade

extremes may be the most relevant Up 12 in 2016 the Bloomberg Grains Spot Subindex has rallied 8 since the end of August likely pricing in some adverse weather risk in 2017 30-Year High in Corn Wheat amp Soybean Consumption
Extreme Soybean Yields in 2016 May Mean Higher Prices in 2017 The USDAs final report for 2016 pegged soybean yields at 525 bushels an acre about 14 above the five-year average Since 1959 this extreme has been beaten once in 1994 when yields increased by 16 Prices slid 22 in 1994 but surged 33 in 1995 as yields normalized back to the average In only six years have soybean yields topped the five-year average by at least 10 and price gains averaged 19 the next year Prices declined 5 on average during years of record yields including 2004s outlier (down 31) Strongest Yields Price Change () Since 1959
Soybeans at $997 a bushel at the end of 2016 are about 43 below 2012s peak of $1770 and 15 off 2016s high Record-high US yields have pushed prices from Junes $1178 peak which came on the back of lower South American production

Agriculture More Susceptible to Weather Led By Soybeans amp Sugar Agriculture commodities are all about the weather but potentially more so in 2017 as successive years of favorable conditions beat up prices spurring far greater demand The 12 2016 spot increase in the Bloomberg Grains Subindex (BCOM) despite the largest harvest ever may indicate that prices have sufficiently fallen In a year with such a high-velocity increase in production the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex total return of 21 may be a trough signal or be a blip in the bear trend since 2012
If growing conditions maintain the increasingly favorable trend prices may suffer Maintaining record production is more subject to volatility than consumption trends which are often driven by prices
Soybeans and Sugar the 2016 Studs Wheat the Dud
Well Fed Soybeans May Be Key to Agriculture Performance in 2017 Soybeans should again dictate performance in the agriculture sector in 2017 after leading the gainers in 2016 The 13 total return of the soybean complex came despite record production for the most widely traded highest-weighted commodity in the Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex If soybeans sputter it will likely be due to another record harvest though the lack of pressure in 2016 was a sign of divergent strength Wheat was 2016s biggest agriculture commodity dud down about 24
Reduced South American production and sharply higher demand supported soybeans in 2016 Classified as an oilseed the 25 gain in palm oil has been a price driver After leading the way to start 2016 sugar fell back partially tethered to weaker corn with ethanol strengthening their connection
Palm Oil May Grease Wheels for Soybeans at 10-Year Discount Not since the 75 soybean rally in 2007 has the palm oil-to-soybean ratio been sustained above the 30 level reached in December Increasing production already at a record may be necessary to damp soybean prices barring a reduction in demand much of which is coming from edible oil Farmers typically are skeptical of soybean oil-driven soybean rallies given that bean meal is the more significant demand source Soybean oil and soybeans have benefited from 2016s shortfall in palm oil production

Soybeans End 2016 Near Extreme Low to Palm Oil
Malaysias production fell by 15 in the first 11 months of 2016 with Indonesia potentially experiencing a decline in excess of 20 over the same period Substitution has resulted in stronger demand for soybean oil A recovery in palm oil production could potentially damp soybean oil prices
2016 Corn-to-Sugar Six-Year Low May Sweeten Corn in 2017 A recovering corn-to-sugar ratio bodes well for corn On only three occasions since 1990 has this ratio ended lower than 149 reached in 2016 In the prior cases the average increase in the front corn price a year later was about 60 Corn and sugar are different agriculture commodities but becoming increasingly linked via ethanol Brazil is the primary producer and exporter of cane sugar with about 50 used for ethanol The US is the leader in corn with about 35 used for ethanol
Corn-to-Sugar Ratio Recovering From Six-Year Low
Front-sugar futures up 28 in 2016 compared with corn futures (down 2) may have recovered from an extreme disparity but based on history when they were less tightly linked than now US ethanol production pegged near 56
billion liters in 2016 about doubles Brazils
AGRICULTURE - CURVES amp FLOWS
Agriculture Futures Curve Roll Yields Poised to Recover in 2017 The Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex roll-yield and one-year futures curves both steady near minus 5 since 2014 may be poised to improve in 2017 Despite successive record harvests and overall declining prices the agriculture index weighted average futures curve improved to 5 near the end of 2016 vs 6 at the end of 2015 Sugar cotton and soybeans are the primary agriculture commodities in backwardation helping to increase total returns offsetting the steep contango drag from corn and wheat
Agriculture Curve Roll Yields Steady Near 5
Cotton and hard wheat topped the list of agriculture open interest gainers in 2016 increasing 30 and 24 Wheat topped the net-managed money position shorts list but near 109000 contracts is well off 2016s high at 15 million Contrarily cotton positions ended the year near record long
AGRICULTURE ndash OUTLOOK
Weather May Take Starch Out of Price-Driven Grain Bean Gluttony It may take higher prices to reduce the velocity of global corn soybean and wheat consumption which is at a multi-decade high on the back of price declines USDA estimated consumption of corn soybeans and wheat in 2016 is 7 above the five-year average -- the greatest relative increase in 30 years Favorable weather has boosted production and pressured prices making the agriculture market more exposed to the opposite Since August the Bloomberg Grains Subindex has recovered from an eight-year low
The two are clearly related as lower prices equal greater demand The relative velocity of change at multi-decade

extremes may be the most relevant Up 12 in 2016 the Bloomberg Grains Spot Subindex has rallied 8 since the end of August likely pricing in some adverse weather risk in 2017 30-Year High in Corn Wheat amp Soybean Consumption
Extreme Soybean Yields in 2016 May Mean Higher Prices in 2017 The USDAs final report for 2016 pegged soybean yields at 525 bushels an acre about 14 above the five-year average Since 1959 this extreme has been beaten once in 1994 when yields increased by 16 Prices slid 22 in 1994 but surged 33 in 1995 as yields normalized back to the average In only six years have soybean yields topped the five-year average by at least 10 and price gains averaged 19 the next year Prices declined 5 on average during years of record yields including 2004s outlier (down 31) Strongest Yields Price Change () Since 1959
Soybeans at $997 a bushel at the end of 2016 are about 43 below 2012s peak of $1770 and 15 off 2016s high Record-high US yields have pushed prices from Junes $1178 peak which came on the back of lower South American production

Soybeans End 2016 Near Extreme Low to Palm Oil
Malaysias production fell by 15 in the first 11 months of 2016 with Indonesia potentially experiencing a decline in excess of 20 over the same period Substitution has resulted in stronger demand for soybean oil A recovery in palm oil production could potentially damp soybean oil prices
2016 Corn-to-Sugar Six-Year Low May Sweeten Corn in 2017 A recovering corn-to-sugar ratio bodes well for corn On only three occasions since 1990 has this ratio ended lower than 149 reached in 2016 In the prior cases the average increase in the front corn price a year later was about 60 Corn and sugar are different agriculture commodities but becoming increasingly linked via ethanol Brazil is the primary producer and exporter of cane sugar with about 50 used for ethanol The US is the leader in corn with about 35 used for ethanol
Corn-to-Sugar Ratio Recovering From Six-Year Low
Front-sugar futures up 28 in 2016 compared with corn futures (down 2) may have recovered from an extreme disparity but based on history when they were less tightly linked than now US ethanol production pegged near 56
billion liters in 2016 about doubles Brazils
AGRICULTURE - CURVES amp FLOWS
Agriculture Futures Curve Roll Yields Poised to Recover in 2017 The Bloomberg Agriculture Subindex roll-yield and one-year futures curves both steady near minus 5 since 2014 may be poised to improve in 2017 Despite successive record harvests and overall declining prices the agriculture index weighted average futures curve improved to 5 near the end of 2016 vs 6 at the end of 2015 Sugar cotton and soybeans are the primary agriculture commodities in backwardation helping to increase total returns offsetting the steep contango drag from corn and wheat
Agriculture Curve Roll Yields Steady Near 5
Cotton and hard wheat topped the list of agriculture open interest gainers in 2016 increasing 30 and 24 Wheat topped the net-managed money position shorts list but near 109000 contracts is well off 2016s high at 15 million Contrarily cotton positions ended the year near record long
AGRICULTURE ndash OUTLOOK
Weather May Take Starch Out of Price-Driven Grain Bean Gluttony It may take higher prices to reduce the velocity of global corn soybean and wheat consumption which is at a multi-decade high on the back of price declines USDA estimated consumption of corn soybeans and wheat in 2016 is 7 above the five-year average -- the greatest relative increase in 30 years Favorable weather has boosted production and pressured prices making the agriculture market more exposed to the opposite Since August the Bloomberg Grains Subindex has recovered from an eight-year low
The two are clearly related as lower prices equal greater demand The relative velocity of change at multi-decade

extremes may be the most relevant Up 12 in 2016 the Bloomberg Grains Spot Subindex has rallied 8 since the end of August likely pricing in some adverse weather risk in 2017 30-Year High in Corn Wheat amp Soybean Consumption
Extreme Soybean Yields in 2016 May Mean Higher Prices in 2017 The USDAs final report for 2016 pegged soybean yields at 525 bushels an acre about 14 above the five-year average Since 1959 this extreme has been beaten once in 1994 when yields increased by 16 Prices slid 22 in 1994 but surged 33 in 1995 as yields normalized back to the average In only six years have soybean yields topped the five-year average by at least 10 and price gains averaged 19 the next year Prices declined 5 on average during years of record yields including 2004s outlier (down 31) Strongest Yields Price Change () Since 1959
Soybeans at $997 a bushel at the end of 2016 are about 43 below 2012s peak of $1770 and 15 off 2016s high Record-high US yields have pushed prices from Junes $1178 peak which came on the back of lower South American production

Extreme Soybean Yields in 2016 May Mean Higher Prices in 2017 The USDAs final report for 2016 pegged soybean yields at 525 bushels an acre about 14 above the five-year average Since 1959 this extreme has been beaten once in 1994 when yields increased by 16 Prices slid 22 in 1994 but surged 33 in 1995 as yields normalized back to the average In only six years have soybean yields topped the five-year average by at least 10 and price gains averaged 19 the next year Prices declined 5 on average during years of record yields including 2004s outlier (down 31) Strongest Yields Price Change () Since 1959
