Igor, coms is down for this week and last because of the option expirary. If you look at a coms chart, you'll notice that every month, coms dropped 4-6 points before option expirary and then bounced back 4-6 points after option exprirary. Those big-boys must be making money like you wouldn't believe it these days. I also just noticed the 32 1/2 call option is very active for coms today whereas puts are very inactive : apr 32.5 5/8 traded 6201 contracts today may 32.5 2 traded 1408 contracts (as are all May calls - active) Puts traded in term of only hundreds. cboe.pcquote.com Looks like it's bullish.
