Commodities
In some cases, we have included the 50-day and 200-day moving averages in the following price charts. At times when a commodity price is in a downtrend and the moving averages are in a downtrend as well. When the long-term 200-day Simple Moving Average is in an uptrend; this often is interpreted as a signal that the market is quite strong. When the 50-day moving average crosses above or below the 200-day moving it is useful information the longer-term trend in price is changing.
