TORONTO - April 11, 2022 - (Newswire.com)
Clifford Rosler Management has today reported that Commodities are set to surge by up to 40% — placing them well into record territory — should investors increase their allocation to raw materials during a period of rising inflation.
"While commodity allocations look to be above historical averages, they are not too overweight," said Graham Fuller, Clifford Rosler Management's Director of Corporate Asset Management. "That indicates there is room for investors to gain in raw materials," he added.
Last month, when markets were roiled by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, commodity prices soared to new highs, driving up costs of everything from oil to wheat. This has spurred already-high global inflation and a tougher response from the Federal Reserve, prompting investors to consider rebalancing the weighting of assets between stocks, bonds, and raw materials in their portfolios.
"Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we updated our commodity price forecasts," said Harvey Foster, Director of Institutional Management at Clifford Rosler Management. "At this juncture, where the need for inflation hedges is more apparent, it is plausible to see longer-term commodity allocations ultimately rising above 1% of total financial assets globally, exceeding previous highs. And if other conditions remain the same, it indicates another 30% to 40% upside shift for commodities moving forward," he added.
Commodity prices have rallied across the board this year, with gains in energy, crops, and metals. Oil prices have risen by 33% year-to-date, while natural gas, wheat, and copper prices have jumped 65%, 33%, and 7%, respectively.
