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…
 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.
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
Gasoline or petrol is a derivative product of crude oil/petroleum. It is derived during fractional distillation process and has a translucent liquid form. It’s not used in its crude form. Different additives are added like ethanol to use it as fuel for passenger vehicles.
Gold is a chemical element with the symbol Au (from Latin: aurum) and atomic number 79, making it one of the higher atomic number elements that occur naturally. In a pure form, it is a bright, slightly reddish yellow, dense, soft, malleable, and ductile metal. Chemically, gold is a transition metal and a group 11 element. It is one of the least reactive chemical elements and is solid under standard conditions. Gold often occurs in free elemental (native) form, as nuggets or grains, in rocks, in veins, and in alluvial deposits.
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.
