FYI: While still up month to date, July has been ending on a shaky note for equity bulls, but based on what bulls in the commodity sector have had to contend with, it has been a walk in the park. Through this morning, the CRB Commodities Index is down just over 10% month to date. While commodities are a volatile sector, a decline of this magnitude is rare even for the CRB index. If the index remains at or below current levels between now and month end, July 2015 will be only the sixth month in the post-WWII period where the CRB index saw a double-digit percentage decline.
