JPMorgan Foresees 40% Price Hike for Commodities

Strategists at JPMorgan Chase predict that commodities are likely to witness a price surge of up to 40% this year if investors elect to pour more money into natural resources in a timeframe characterized by increasing inflationary pressures. If such a price hike occurs, commodities will enter record-breaking price levels. The JPMorgan strategists say that at the moment, investor allocations in the raw materials segment exceed the average allocations on record historically. However, the situation at the moment cannot be described as “overweight.” Consequently, there is still room for massive funding to flow into raw materials and trigger the surge…

Gold Holds Firm as Ukraine Concerns, Inflation Counter Interest Rate Hike

Last week, the Federal Reserve released the minutes of its meeting held in March. The minutes revealed that the U.S. Central Bank would be increasing interest rates by 25 basis points. The breaking of this news didn’t cause ripples in the gold markets for a number of reasons.

Goldman Predicts Record-High Copper Prices by Mid-2022

Goldman Sachs, a leading investment bank, warned in a recently released report that copper was slowly headed in the direction of a stockout. Barely a month ago, the metal breached the $5 mark for each pound ($11,000 for a ton).
