A CRB warning

Let´s pay some attention to the CRB (Reuters/Jefferies CRB Index) which includes the most important commodities. Precious Metals (as Gold) represent 17,6 % of the indice composition. The weekly CRB chart shows a strong bull market that matches with a similar ascending trendline for Gold. But we are seeing a certain weakness in the CRB and its RSI and MACD are not looking good. Since April 2001 it is the first time that the index broke under the EMA50. Maybe it is not very serious, as long as it doesn´t remain for too long and too deeply under 335/340 to do not invalidate the multi-year weekly trendline.

So, it is not a bad idea to monitor this situation in the weeks ahead.
