[BRIEFING.COM] The CRB Commodity Index is down 2.6% in its worst single-session slide since August. It had been down roughly 4% at its morning low. The drop in commodities comes as participants flee from riskier holdings for relative safe havens. That has helped lift the U.S. dollar, which has only exacerbated weakness among commodities -- the greenback had been up as much as 0.8% against other currencies earlier, but it has eased back to sport a more modest gain of 0.3% and take some of the pressure off of commodities.
Oil prices are under particular pressure. Oil is currently being priced at $74.90 per barrel. It had been down more than 6% in early pit trade.
Natural gas prices are also down sharply. Contracts were last quoted at $4.93 each, down 4.5%.
As for precious metals, gold is trading hands at $1170 per ounce, down 1.4%. Meanwhile, silver is off by 2.8% at $18.24 per ounce.
On a similar note, the Baltic Dry Index has now followed up its 17-session advance with six straight down sessions. On Thursday it lost 2.7%, but came back to drop 3.5% on Friday. "
