Break in commodities seen as healthy correction by NYSE chief
Robert P. Boylan, chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, called the current commodity slump a healthy corrective break and said prices have likely passed their peak. He expects stabilization around current levels as government plans to buy more wheat and strong crop prospects support a gradual fall in prices across groceries and retail goods. He cited three factors behind the drop: withdrawal from the wheat market, excellent crop conditions, and buyer resistance at the retail level.
