Broad baskets in favour among investors
Thursday 08th April '21
Broad baskets continue to dominate global exchange-traded product flows for commodities. This is a notable shift from last year when broad commodities were generally an ignored asset class compared to other sectors such as precious metals. With many commodity sectors like industrial metals, agricultural commodities, and energy exhibiting strong performance in recent months, investors have turned to diversified baskets to capture the bull run. Flows into global exchange-traded products in broad baskets year to date has exceeded $6bn. Industrial metals are in second place, with inflows of just over $760m.
