Gold on Friday gained by $27.90 or 1.47% to $1,926.20 per oz - its biggest up day in six weeks - surpassing its short-term key breakout point of $1,908 per oz in a very convincing manner to officially end the downtrend that began on August 7th after gold reached a short-term peak at its all-time nominal high of $2,089.20 per oz!
NIA's #1 favorite commodity corn had an even BIGGER day on Friday with the front month contract gaining by $0.08 or 2.07% to $3.95 per bushel - its highest weekly settlement price since approximately one full year ago! When corn last hit $3.95 per bushel after spending approximately one full year below $3.95 per bushel, in May 2019, it rallied an additional 17.53% within one month to reach a 2019 high of $4.6425 per bushel.
The corn/gold ratio has now increased for nine consecutive weeks from an all-time low of 0.14922 to a current level of 0.20507 for a nine week increase of 37.43%! We believe the corn/gold ratio is on its way back to its trailing four-year median of 0.2789, which would currently value corn at $5.372 per bushel!
The Teucrium Corn Fund ETF (CORN) finished last week at $13.50 per share, its highest closing price since NIA suggested the January 2021 CORN $13 call option on August 25th when CORN was trading for $12.53 per share.
