Just listening to a podcast where they were discussing how the recent bull run in commodities is more a USD 'thing' than a commodity 'thing' which made me run some numbers...

Well as you would suspect it doesnt show that the whole move in oil is due to dollar weakness - there has been a significant shift in the fundamentals - but it does show that the move is 25% less in Euro's, so maybe dollar weakness is part of the fuel.
USD has had a big move down so it is certainly a factor in the increase in Crude. USD DOWN = commodity priced in USD UP
Is it all about USD? No, it never is. But it's an important factor.
Ask anyone producing Canadian crude, and trying to repatriate that revenue to Canada, how they feel about the recent jump in oil prices combined with a healthy increase in CAD due to the USD tanking.
The answer usually is "I'm drilling in Texas now."

Now this is interesting. Below is the chart of Dec'2023 crude, instead of prompt month, in USD and EUR again. This shows that as front crude has rallied 50% in the last 6 months (in USD) it's unchanged in the back of the curve, and actually down 10% in Euro's.
Interesting points @SMCJB, I've looked into these correlations in the past and found some correlation but the note about products further along the curve is really interesting. I may have to do some further analysis.
I think there are several factors at play here;
a) Expectations of a pick up in inflation via rising rates.
b) Commodity cycle - cuts to output between the 2014-2016 decline feeding through the supply chain.
c) USD weakness.
Thanks for the information about the implied CL flys.
I checked through the CL flys in TT. Do all the 1, 3, 6 and 12 month flys for the above mentioned time period now automatically have implied pricing switched on?
