Today in Commodities: Dollar Sets the Tone

Thank you, Matthew, for your postings. At appears that China (and other economies with massive amounts of U.S. denominated reserves) are currently (the logical) willing buyers of Oil (in exchange for the greenback) at these levels. But these nations have (at least until recently) been mostly dependent on foreign economic growth (a la the "foreign" consumer) in order to spur their own economic growth. And until we see definitive proof that these nations can economically expand on their own, I would not be betting on continued higher commodity prices all across the board.

P.S. Love the new spell-check feature in the comment section. Thank you Seeking Alpha.
