Commodities and Inflation – A Time-Tested Relationship

Commodities and Inflation – A Time-Tested Relationship

Aired On

Higher commodity prices historically create inflationary pressures. Conversely, higher inflation typically increases the investment demand for commodities. As a result, there exists a natural relationship between the two. With persistently elevated inflation figures in major economies around the world challenging the ‘transitory inflation’ narrative from central banks, IBKR will be joined by WisdomTree to discuss:

  • How supply pressures have fueled rallies across many commodity markets
  • Why the notion of a potential super-cycle is making waves in commodities this year
  • How commodities could be used in portfolios to protect against rising levels of inflation
