Commodities Experience a Rough Start to 2016

The commodity market had a rough start to 2016, with the majority of commodities heading lower. While crude oil has dominated the headlines, there are a few commodity bright spots, including precious metals, grains, and meats, that have posted gains on the year. These commodities could come under pressure later in the year, however, with the U.S. dollar moving higher and the demand picture remaining quite sluggish.
