Market Analyst Says Commodity Super Cycle Is Over

One market analyst feels the commodity super cycle is now over.
 
Mike Jubenville with Pro Farmer Canada says we saw commodities generally bottom out in 2002, and then outside of a few blips in 2008-2009, we saw a significant rally over the next few years.
 
He feels the cyclical turn of that has now made a move to the downside, but adds it's not doom and gloom for agriculture.
 
"There is a strong physical demand for agricultural products that has come unabated," Jubenville says, "however the pricing environment has switched from expectations of $14 canola to one that's into a more sideways, sluggish environment. So we could be trading anywhere from $9.50 per bushel to $11 per bushel until such time as the next catalyst comes along to give us the next bull market."
