highlights and themes

I’m watching for the potential for lower highs – either corrective lower high wave 2 of 5 or on some more further along in the downside wave patterns wave 4 of 5. The Bloomberg Commodity Index daily is a good example of this thesis. If commodity prices can hold at the end of July prices, one has to start to think about the August CPI report coming in a little higher than the expected lower July report.
