How to Predict Inflation and Deflation Using the CRB Index

Economics / CRB Index Feb 04, 2009 - 07:19 AM GMT

By: INO

Economics Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe #1 Predictor of Inflation or Deflation.There is an indicator which has been around since 1957. It has accurately forecasted every inflationary and deflationary cycle since. This is my number one indicator for large cyclic trends. You may want to watch this index carefully should you want to invest in certain stocks and commodity related markets.


Over the last half-century, this index has seen some remarkable moves both on the upside and more recently on the downside. I believe that this is the indicator that everyone should watch. If you trade stocks or futures and are interested in world trade trends, this is the indicator to track.

The tenth revision of this index renamed it the Reuters-Jefferies CRB Index (NYBOT_CR) You can easily track this indicator everyday using MarketClub.
