West Texas Intermediate (WTI) is a light, sweet crude oil that serves as one of the main global oil benchmarks. It is sourced primarily from inland Texas and is one of the highest quality oils in the world, which is easy to refine. WTI is the underlying commodity for the NYMEX’s oil futures contract. WTI is known as a light sweet oil because it contains around 0.34% sulfur, making it “sweet,” and has a low density (specific gravity), making it “light.”1

WTI:GOLD comparison chart is one of my favorite macro crude oil charts to look at because it provides a true GLOBAL price of oil adjusted to an entirely outside the entire world of currencies, not just USD itself! Once we take a look at the chart above we see just how RARE this drop on crude price in Gold bars is on a relative basis… needless to say this is a generational low. the bigger issue is its running out of downside room so the bottom is approaching soon…
WTI:DXY comparison chart is one of my favorite macro crude oil charts to look at because it provides a true GLOBAL price of oil adjusted to an entire basket of currencies, not just USD itself. Once we take a look at the chart above we see just how RARE this drop is on a relative basis. To put it in perspective, the WTI during $147 peak was 205% the DXY, and now it is just 12%!! (8% at the lows if you count that)…. needless to say this is a generational low. the bigger issue is its running out of downside room so the bottom is approaching soon…
The “Global Price” of Gold, this ratio compared Gold to the entire basket of USD currencies. As I have proved earlier this year Gold had already broken the DXY ratio relationship, and this usually happens at major peaks of this ratio (hence why it breaks). If you notice this peak was at a lower level of 22:1
The Gold / Bitcoin Ratio is an excellent relative basis analytical tool you can use to calculate either future Bitcoin or Gold prices by “triangulating” the ratio, on the chart patterns, with actual price action of one of the two potential underlying asset classes.
 NEW GOLD vs TLT CHART:  This ratio provides a birds-eye macro view of the commonly held relationship between Gold & US Treasury bonds (20YR+) ETF that over time has held within its key historical channel. Anytime this ratio has popped out of this key level either Gold was overpriced or TLT was underpriced.

The gold-silver ratio, also known as the mint ratio, refers to the relative value of an ounce of silver to an equal weight of gold. Put simply, it is the quantity of silver in ounces needed to buy a single ounce of gold. Traders can use it to diversify the amount of precious metal they hold in their portfolio.
Corn futures are standardized, exchange-traded contracts in which the contract buyer agrees to take delivery, from the seller, a specific quantity of corn (i.e. 50 tonnes) at a predetermined price on a future delivery date. Corn Futures are traded at the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), NYSE Euronext (Euronext) and Tokyo Grain Exchange (TGE). Commodities are traded based on margin, and the margin changes based on market volatility and the current face value of the contract. For example, to trade a corn contract on the CBOT, a trader may be required to maintain a margin of $1,350, which is approximately 4.5% of the face value.
Wheat futures are standardized, exchange-traded commodities futures contracts. The contract buyer agrees to take delivery of a specific quantity of wheat (i.e. 5,000 bushels) from the seller at a predetermined price on a future delivery date.
The White Sugar futures contract is used as the global benchmark for the pricing of physical white sugar. It is actively traded by the international sugar trade, sugar millers, refiners, and end-users (manufacturers) as well as by managed funds and both institutional and short-term investors.
