During the month of November, the top 3 performing sectors were: softs (+5.98%), livestock (+2.80%), and interest rates (+0.63%). The bottom 3 sectors were: energies (-14.71%), metals (-5.79%) and currencies (-1.67%). The month of November started quietly as we entered the holiday season, but volatility quickly hit all the markets as news of the new variant (Omicron) surfaced during Thanksgiving week. We saw a huge reversal in energies and indices sold off on the last few days to end the month negative. Generally the holiday season sees lighter volume across all the markets, but something tells us that this will be a busier than usual end of the year.
