The chart below shows six commodity group ETFs from PowerShares. The Silver Trust (DBS) and Precious Metals Trust (DBP) are the weakest year-to-date, while the Energy Trust (PBE) and Oil Trust (DBO) the only ones with gains, albeit small gains. These year-to-date gains stem from strength in Natural Gas ($NATGAS) and the recent rebound in West Texes Intermediate ($WTIC).
