Strong rally in broad commodities
Thursday 25th February '21
Broad commodities have historically served as an effective hedge against moderate increases in inflation. This is likely to be one of the reasons why flows to broad commodity exchange traded products have exceeded all other commodity sectors by far year to date. Broad commodities have also been able to capture the strong performance across various cyclical sectors including industrial metals, energy, and agricultural commodities. As of 24 February, the Bloomberg Commodity Index is up over 12% year to date.
