Commodities

Bullish commodity traders and investors in the likes of oil and gold also saw positive returns for the year as Oil ended at a strong high of $60 and Gold at $1310 both inline with my bullish expectations for these commodities for 2017.


In terms of the immediate outlook for oil, the price has broken out of a year long range capped at $56 that it will likely revisit (test) during the next few weeks. Though oil is clearly in a bull market and thus I expect the bullish trend to continue and would not be surprised if we see crude oil break above $80 during the year!
