- Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 8:33 AM The slides from the BHP presentation that's got markets spooked this morning. Slide 7 highlights the company's expectation that Chinese iron ore consumption - after more than quintupling between 2000 and 2012 - is not expected to be much higher in 2020 than it is today. 3 Comments [Global & FX, Commodities]
- Tuesday, March 20, 2012, 7:09 AM Miners are leading declines in Europe following a BHP executive's comments that Chinese demand for iron ore is flattening out.

- Friday, June 3, 2011, 3:50 AM A sudden China slowdown could trigger a 75% plunge in commodity prices, S&P says. While it's unlikely China is in a bubble, it's "difficult to overstate the significance of China's presence" in global commodities markets, S&P says. 2 Comments [Commodities, Global & FX]
- Friday, May 6, 2011, 5:25 PM If the commodities bubble really is popping, that may not change the forecast for food - as grain traders are watching weather instead of tickers, and fundamental investors may see agriculture as "the odd one out, the attractive one in the bunch." 5 Comments [Commodities, Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, May 5, 2011, 1:38 PM Checking in on the great commodities fire sale (or, if you prefer, "blood bath"): the CRB index down 4.1%. Silver (down 7.8%) leading PMs downhill: gold -2.7% to $1,474.70, platinum -2.6%; copper -3.3%. Crude is falling the most the in two years, -6.7% on NYMEX to $101.98. Natgas -6% to $4.302. About the only signs of life: lean hogs up 0.5%, and ethanol's flat. Comment! [Commodities, Energy, Breaking News]
- Monday, February 28, 2011, 7:42 AM A draft OECD report suggests commodity prices haven't been rising because of speculators, but because global demand is growing faster than supply.
