- Historically, the price of commodities has a negative correlation with the price of financial instruments such as stocks and bonds. When stock prices fall, commodity prices come into play, and vice versa. This means that without investing in commodities, you are not truly diversified.
- Commodity prices can rise even when the economy is going backwards.
- The rate of return on investment in commodities has grown faster than the growth rate of inflation.
- The stock price may be zero, while the commodity will not. Unlike company stocks, commodities are physical and always have value to some people.
- The continued growth of the Asian economy will bring strong growth in demand for all commodities worldwide. In particular, China has rapidly changed from a commodity exporting country to a commodity importing country, and the major consumption needs are iron ore, copper, oil, soybeans and other raw materials.
