Commodities
Invest in commodities to diversify your portfolio, hedge against inflation, and enhance potential returns.
What Are Commodities?
Commodities are a distinct asset class with returns that often move independently of stocks and bonds. They include essential, interchangeable goods like grains, gold, oil, and natural gas. As an asset class, commodities are speculative and particularly responsive to economic changes.
