Weekly Commodity Report Highlights Market Trends
Commodity comments by Bill Chisholm note a steady market with London fixing near 131.75 and improved sentiment lifting prices. Copper and silver rise on agricultural strength while cash markets weaken due to higher production and weak demand. Hog prices slip as slaughter rises, cotton futures near contract highs, and export totals climb. Weather drives grain markets with wheat moisture fears and potential 120 million bushels daily loss if drought continues. Peru fish catch halted by current conditions.
