The commodities sector was on track for its fourth straight weekly gain, supported in August by a weaker dollar, lower Treasury yields and expectations of a Fed rate cut at the 18 September FOMC meeting. The sector rose 1.3% over the month, with industrial metals and softs gaining while energy and grains fell.
Analysts see the monthly correction as over but expect only limited rebound until global growth improves.
A weaker dollar and easing rate expectations lower the cost of holding commodities and support prices broadly, but energy and grain weakness shows the gains are uneven across the complex.
