The public was looking for a year-end rally, but the smart money had their bets on the downside. Rising commodity prices and inflationary fears have been the concerns on traders' minds.

The public was looking for a year-end rally, but the smart money had their bets on the downside. Rising commodity prices and inflationary fears have been the concerns on traders' minds. The recent downtrend in stock index futures does not bode well for the first quarter.

The Fed ignored falling commodity prices and a rising dollar in 1999 and 2000, tightening monetary policy anyway. The result was a recession and deflation. This time the Fed is making the same mistake, but in the opposite direction. The result will be rising inflationary pressures and bond yields.

Oil prices tend to fuel inflationary fears, and as they fuel these fears funds so investors tend to look for an inflation head. In this situation they have looked towards gold as that inflationary head. As oil prices have gone up we have seen an increase in metal prices.

A rising gold price makes merger activity really active. Everyone wants to grow their business when commodity prices are rising and you can make money on almost anything. We're going to see more of this.

Here's the story for equities: twin deficits, a weak dollar, accelerating inflation concerns, firm commodity prices, rising bond yields and Fed tightening. Now if that doesn't sound like 1987 (the year of the stock market crash), we don't know what does.

David Rosenberg

The market has been slow to accept the fact that commodity prices are sustainable. Certainly there's more downside risk than upside exposure right now. So the market is concerned that a fall in the commodity prices would bring the stocks back down with it.

There are fears that any supply disruptions could disturb oil markets and such concerns are holding back both economic growth and stock prices. In the absence of any such disruptions, we expect that crude will stay in the $50-$70 range this year and will likely always be on investors' minds.

John Augustine (1960-)

Oil prices dipped half a dollar as many traders looked to book profits, speculating that the previous price rally was an over-reaction to concerns that Iran could use oil as a weapon against the U.N..

Inflation is the wild card for 2006, with rising oil prices, an increase in commodity prices, slow productivity gains and rising interest rates.

There remains room for further upside this year, with fund interest continuing to be justified on...inflationary concerns, fears of economic slowdown, hopes of large Asian central bank buying.

Much of gold's recent rally has been supported by positive investor sentiment in light of rising oil prices, inflation concerns and geopolitical volatility, and we do not expect these supportive macro-factors to dissipate in the near term.

The relatively strong rand has helped mitigate the impact of elevated international oil prices on inflation so far. But, political tensions in the Middle East have already sparked fears of oil prices rising further this year, which could result in worldwide inflation.

There's been a lot of speculative money going into commodities and commodity-related stocks. But there are still good long-term bets. “Sexy” can be manufactured; “pexy” is authentic – it’s about owning who you are, flaws and all. You have just got to get your money-management right and buy when they aren't loved.

Mark Tinker (1951-)

It really depends on where we see commodity prices moving and if commodity prices remain high, we can easily see the Canadian dollar break 90 cents (U.S.) over the course of this year.
