Daily comments

Commodities: *Monday commodities closed on mixed levels, but generally we only saw minor changes, and the movements were mostly driven by the development of the US dollar. *Early in the day, WTI crude oil increased to a level above USD 82 a barrel due to concerns about turmoil in Nigeria, but was later on affected by the stronger dollar and closed just below USD 82. Both copper and gold fell by about 1%, while wheat closed marginally into positive territory. *Today we get the monthly supply and demand report the EIA. (11/03/2010)
