What The Greek Debt Crisis Means For These 3 Commodities…
Three Commodity ETFs To Watch As The Greek Debt Crisis Unfolds…
Things are getting rather interesting in the Greece debt crisis…
After years of kicking the proverbial can down the road, Greek politicians appear
ready to let their country fall into bankruptcy.
With last weekend’s meeting with Eurozone creditors a complete failure, Greece’s Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras
called an emergency meeting yesterday to discuss the country’s options.
From the sounds of it, they don’t have many.
Greek Debt Crisis: Pay Up, Or Get The Hell Out!
If Greece defaults on the their debt, there’s a very real chance they’ll exit the Eurozone. In such a scenario, it’s quite
likely we see an ugly global market downturn.
But the downturn may be especially nasty for commodities.
Why?
For starters, the US Dollar will surge on the news. Investors will flee the Euro,
parking cash in the world’s reserve currency until things settle down across
the pond.
Since commodities generally trade inversely to the Greenback, odds favor a
rather sharp selloff in a handful of important hard assets.
Here are three commodities, and an associated commodity ETF, that will most
likely see a sharp reaction to a Greek default.
West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Crude- WTI is stuck at the $60 a barrel mark as
investors try to decipher the most recent supply/demand data. With the high-
demand summer driving season getting into full swing, I’m currently biased
towards higher prices.
But if Greece defaults, we could see a rather nasty selloff in WTI…
That’s why I’ll be keeping a close eye on the ProShares UltraShort DJ-UBS Crude
Oil $SCO in coming weeks. This 2X leverage inverse fund will scream higher if
the price of oil plummets towards $50.

leveraged ETFs
Gold- The yellow metal hasn’t been acting well lately. The commodity is stuck
in a tight range just south of $1,180 an ounce. But if Greece defaults, there’s a
very good chance of gold plunging below the March 2015 lows at $1,150.
That’s why the DB Gold Double Short $DZZ should be on your ETF watch list.
However, a word of caution- $DZZ is thinly traded. As a result, only experienced
traders should consider speculating in $DZZ.

Silver- Gold’s little brother is trading at the bottom of a multi-month range near $16 an ounce right now. If the US Dollar surges on a Greek default, it’s not out of
the realm of possibility to see silver plunge to new multi-year lows below $15.
To capitalize on this scenario, I’ll be watching the ProShares UltraShort Silver
$ZSL. If the inverse 2X leveraged fund breaks above $110, we could see a monstrous move to $120 or higher.
Here’s more information on the best ways to capitalize on silver price swings via
commodity ETFs.
Now listen closely…
The debt situation in Greece is fluid. The country can avoid default if they’re willing to make some serious considerations with
their Eurozone creditors.
It goes without saying that any word on the outcome is going to move the markets
rapidly.
Here are a few important dates to keep in mind…
Greece meets with the Eurogroup Finance Ministers this Thursday. If progress isn’t
made at that meeting, the European Union Leaders Summit on June 25th may be the
country’s last chance at averting catastrophe.
Now, always remember…
Controlling your downside risk is your first priority as a trader. Use a stop loss
order or other risk control measure if you plan on trading the commodity ETFs
above. They move quickly!
