Abstract

Commodities, such as gold, crude oil, and agricultural products, are part of a broad asset class that can diversify investment portfolios. These commodities go through long cycles of price fluctuations, driven by factors like human nature and supply and demand dynamics. Currently, experts believe that commodities are in a bull super cycle that began in 2020 and could last for several more years. Investing in commodities can be done indirectly through derivative instruments or stocks linked to commodities. Gold is particularly favored due to geopolitical tensions and inflation concerns. However, a broad basket of commodities is recommended to capture the overall trend. [Extracted from the article]
