Recent news states that Europe is "on fire" with troubles in England, France, Germany, Poland and Turkey, riots, changes of administrations, disatisfaction. Meanwhile the "leader of the free democratic world" is AWOL. Yet despite all that, the U.S. still retains some safe-haven and investment attraction due to relative interest rates. The Fed is loosening its tightening cycle stance anticipating that the U.S. and the rest of the world are both sliding into recession. But this seems relatively minor to what is happening in other countries, with Merkel, May, and Macron governments all anticipating changes in leadership. Markets abhor uncertainty, and this certainly is plenty of that in the U.S. under Trump's moronic leadership. But it could get even worse in other countries, now that they have lost their "leader of the free world" who is out playing golf on his Florida estate. He thinks he "won't be around" when the collapse comes. He could be right.

Trading in commodities involves substantial risk and past performance is no guarantee of future profits. Zenith does not sell advice nor does it manage discretionary accounts other than its own. Readers should be aware of the vested interest that all traders/brokers have in encouraging other traders to make the same transactions. No one should follow investment advice blindly. This web site should be used only as a "sounding board" for confirming one's own opinion. Any suggested order placements should be reviewed and reset to fit current market conditions by individual traders.
Recommendations may include trades which have already been made on the same or a previous day, otherwise the issue is placed on a "watch list." Suggested trades are based upon an approximate maximum $15,000 capitalization requirement per trade, depending upon initial contract margin requirements. Zenith's actual trades may be larger. $22 per round turn for futures is deducted from profit figures. Commodity option trade recommendations are not tracked, but performance should parallel that of the underlying commodity's.
