Commodities not out of the woods

In line with our forecasts, the prices of many commodities have fallen by more than 10% in recent days, with the exception of gold. We continue to believe that the prices of industrial metals and oil have further to fall and that the price of gold will maintain its ascent. (See our Commodities Chart Book published on 1st August for detailed forecasts.)
