Overall trading across global financial and commodity markets has remained very volatile for the past weeks. The energy markets saw strong movements with sudden corrections due to the political escalation in the Near and Middle east. The fear of inflation in the US kept interest rates busy and added to the uncertainty amongst investors. Metals partially faced heavy corrections during the last months after strong price increases. However, the lower price levels that followed has attracted some buyers again.
Overall, these highly volatile conditions in most of the markets has resulted in difficulties for trend-followers such as Superfund.
