The title of top mover for the week may already be held by commodities. Initially suffering significant declines through the opening half of Monday's session, both US oil and gold staged their largest respective bullish reversals in three years. The precious metal was running on news of a 'No' vote for the Swiss Gold Referendum which meant a large potential bid instantly evaporated. Energy has tumbled nearly 40 percent over the past six months. Traders are no doubt wondering whether this shift will hold. Furthermore, the question about whether its influence will spill over to FX and other capital markets is an obvious next step. We discuss the dramatic volatility and cross market implications of the commodities market movements in today's Strategy Video.
