    All that glitters is not gold.

    At night gold glitters when new.

    A 40 dollar pure good bracelet.

    It is just a short bracelet. But Compared to heineken marketing rubberbands they are nice.

    I beleive you are refering to comodoties that is the diference.

  2. Trader that was interesting, as Oil does push up the prices of everything. Is there any relationship between oil & commodities? Do they always rise & fall like this? Is there any other relationship that can be seen?

  3. When Oil goes up, all generally go up as oil (crude, petrol, diesel, peak) are important for transportation. Now, we transport commodities, so when oil goes up, transport costs goes up, thus, prices of others goes up - sort of a chain reaction.

    According to this year, prices were so high, due to the dollar falling value. However, other factors like wars, unrest in the oil supplying countries, or more demand than supply in an area can also cause prices to rise.

    The graph of relationship might differ on political, socio-economic grounds. This relationship is known as “Inter-market relationship”. It is important as it tells you how different markets affect each other.

    To learn & understand more of the relationship between oil & commodities or any markets, please read the following Intermarket Thread:

    sorry but have to disagree just a little.......;

    most commodity prices have two components: futures and basis

    "futures" are mostly subject to world supply and demand out into the future.
    "basis" is mostly subject to the cost of physically getting the commodity from point of supply to point of demand.

    oil mostly effects price of transportation to get commodity from point of supply to point of demand. Transportation is one of many components of the basis

    hence, price of oil effects cash price with little or no effect on the futures component.
