Don't get me wrong, I have invested heavily in metals in the past and still own some physical, and I am on record as far back as 1999 calling for decline in the dollar and a rise in gold. That was when gold was under $300.

Perhaps I should have clarified then because when I say commodities, I USUALLY speak of the precious metals. Inflation is still the existing threat, how can it not be? Please explain the trend of deflation that you think is more prevalent than inflation.
