Crude oil and metal prices are in the doldrums as the likelihood of a US recession grows. Mayer’s Special Situations editor Chris Mayer says this has commodities stocks at better values than they have been for years.
Slowing growth and inflation problems means the short-term outlook for commodities is not pretty. But over the long term, scarcity of resources is strongly bullish for commodities prices.
This is a great chance to add commodities stocks to you your portfolio and hold for long-term profits.

The dispute over TNK-BP erupted last week after the Russian billionaire co-owners of the Anglo-Russian oil joint venture said they planned to sue BP in Moscow and international courts.
Byron King in Energy and Oil looks at the reasons behind the TNK-BP dispute:
The Kremlin has invested heavily in Russia’s image as an energy superpower. During the recent Russian Victory Day celebrations on May 9, many commentators referred to Russia’s energy sector as one of the key elements of Russian power.

Gas stations in Britain have began to run out of fuel as a four-day fuel strike by Shell tanker drivers sparked a wave of panic buying. Six hundred drivers working for two companies that distribute fuel to Shell filling stations around Britain are on strike over low pay.
“Is Britain going back to the 1970s?” asks Ben Traynor in Fleet Street Daily.
I was 14 when I first learned about the 1970s oil price shocks, and how they had caused stagflation (unemployment and inflation rising at the same time) in Britain.

Petroleo Brasileiro SA and the UK’s BG Group have made a second major oil find in Brazil’s Santos Basin.
The Guara exploration well struck oil in the BM-S-9 concession area – the same block as September’s Carioca discovery, which could contain as many as 33 billion barrels of oil.
“There are those who will tell you that oil is a cyclical business and a global fungible commodity,” says Christian DeHaemer in Taipan Daily.

Royal Dutch Shell Chief Executive has weighed in alongside OPEC, claiming that there is no shortage of physical oil supplies, and the crude oil prices should drop.
“As the post-Memorial Day hangover lingers, and $4 per gallon gasoline becomes a national reality, expect more and more daily energy prognostications,” says William Patalon III in Money Morning.

Could biofuels be our savior after all? This from Bloomberg:
Biofuels can boost incomes and yields for farmers, revitalizing impoverished rural areas when they are introduced in countries with secure land ownership, the International Institute for Environment and Development said.
By raising the price of crops such as corn and palm oil, biofuels can reduce poverty in countries with a high dependency on agriculture, the London-based researcher said in a report with the United Nation’s Food and Agriculture Organization.
