Across the Board Rally in Commodities (DBC)

July 3, 2012 12:47 PM UTC
From oil to oats, commodity prices were higher across the board today. The broad based rally in commodities paints a picture of a market bracing for inflation. Interestingly, the move comes just ahead of an expected rate cut by the ECB.

After yesterday's weak ISM report in the U.S., there is growing chatter that the Fed Chairman, Ben Bernanke, is going to be forced to fire another QE bullet at the weakening economy. With China easing all but guaranteed, it is no wonder the inflation trade is back on.

PowerShares DB Com Indx Trckng Fund ETF (NYSE: DBC), which owns a broad range of commodities, is higher by 2.5 percent intraday on Tuesday.
