OIL PLUNGES AFTER GUSTAV PASSES

] on Tuesday tempered global inflation fears and drove the U.S. dollar to its highest level in 10 months. Commodities like corn and cotton fell in tandem with oil while gold slid under $800 an ounce and copper, another key commodity indicator, hit 7-month lows in U.S. futures trade.
The plays: This is a bear market, says Jeff Macke. There’s one trade that’s worked all year and that’s sell.

HAS THE COMMODITY BUBBLE POPPED?
The news: Corn futures fell over 3 percent to their lowest levels in two weeks on Tuesday, as a $4 plunge in oil prices pushed the dollar to 2008 highs, triggering a broad sell-off in commodities.
The sell-off in turn hurt shares of major U.S. coal producers on Tuesday sending Arch Coal [ACI

Also gold slid under $800 an ounce and copper, another key commodity indicator, hit 7-month lows in U.S. futures trade.
What’s going on?
“The game has changed for the dollar and since the game has changed for the dollar it has changed for the commodity markets … all of them,” says strategic investor Dennis Gartman on Fast Money.
”The game changed two months ago when US Steel [X

] began to falter and then it was made all the clearer when the fertilizer stocks began to follow. The collapse of crude oil and nat-gas is not the precursor of commodity market weakness; rather it is merely symptomatic. The energy markets are simply following the lead that steel and fertilizer set up.”
”If the US dollar is now embarking upon a multi-year bull move, we may well be surprised how far the dollar could run. Is 1.2500 vs. the EUR out of the question? Of course not; indeed, that might only be a year or so away,” he says.

DOW'S BEST: GM

The plays: I can’t imagine how it gets worse for General Motors, says Jeff Macke. I would not get short GM. It seems like a stock that can work for a trade if you can catch it.
