What is bullish mean in stock market?

What does commodities mean?

Commodities are products that are bought and sold exclusively on price, rather than by any special features of the product. An easy and common example is wheat. There are two kinds of wheat in the market: hard wheat, which is used for bread, and soft wheat, which is used for pastries. All hard wheat works the same, so you buy it on price.


When the market says that the corn price is 362.50 what is the bushel price and how do you figure that out?

The US commodity markets have a somewhat different convention for showing the current price of the commodities. The price for corn, for example, might be shown as 362.50, or as 362'5 or even 36250, but they all mean $3.625 US per bushel at the commodity market. Keep in mind that the Chicago market, for instance, sells only in 5,000 bushel lots, and that any local buyer or seller will have a "distance from destination" charge, commonly called "basis", which will be taken off the market price.


How does the stock market effect gas prices?

stock market is one place where immense investments take place, investments in company boosts stock market to rise & where risk is determined it falls down, perfectly call the bull market when stock market rises & bear market when falls down.http://oilprices-today.comI'm assuming that by gas that gasoline is meant and not natural gas which would change the answer considerably. Also, by stock market if we mean the NYSE (New York Stock Exchange) then it effects it a little bit and that bit is due to the real and speculative profits of oil companies listed on the NYSE and to a lesser effect the industry as a whole. But, by stock market if you also mean the greater set of markets which also include the futures markets then the effect can be great. As we all know the prices of everything are based on speculation of the seller and the buyer. Consequently, when investors go in and buy future options for oil (basically the right to buy or sell oil in the future) at prices different than what would be normally expected, all things constant, then this creates a ripple effect on prices today. Of course the supply of oil to a great extent is determined by "The Oilygopoly" as I like to all them aka OPEC. Consequently, in reality even though prices can at times be determined by the microeconomic events of industry and investors the real players which is the government by taxation and OPEC by fluctuating supply determine the prices of gas but of course the industry doesn't call it gas it's called oil.
