I agree that the strength of DXY is the most significant factor in the decline of commodities however I have the view that it's over extended and looks like it's due for a pullback. Reporting season in the US has started well with performance exceeding expectations. This could coincide with some money flow out of the safety of the DXY and back into commodities.
The heavy CPI figure last week should have been the catalyst to push the markets lower yet it bounced. From my perspective the negative news has been priced in and we're looking to bounce from here. How high we bounce and for how long will be the more difficult factor to pinpoint.
