Commodities & Gold

Commodities & gold are key topics on InvestingHaven. Commodities are known to be very volatile, both to the upside but also to the downside. Between 2001 and 2011 most commodities, including gold and silver, went through the roof. That's because real inflation was on the rise. Interest rates were falling. Moreover, it was a 'risk on' period with the exception of early-2008 till early-2009. Both real inflation as well as 'risk on' are a great environment for commodities. Since 2021, commodities are back and a potential commodity super cycle, although in a different shape than 2 decades ago, might be unfolding.
