Price Time Volume Investing

Here is an update of some charts I have posted in the past that measure prices on some commodity indices.  These measure some aspect of inflation, lack of inflation, or deflation.  I do not see anything inflationary for at least six months into the future. Prices of some indices rise into May/June which makes year over year comparisons difficult to find any inflation.

The ten year look shows significant inflation only in oil. Gold is up but that, to me, is only a trading vehicle based on people’s perceptions. Steel, chemicals, and food inflation is a better gauge than gold. I show gold to depict the expected inflation by speculators already in the market.
