Such cycles, though different in nature and triggers, are shaped by geopolitical, economic and technological factors.
The article from Forbes Finance Council discusses the current commodity supercycle, a prolonged period of high demand and rising prices for commodities, driven by factors like economic recovery post-COVID, geopolitical tensions, and the shift towards green energy. It highlights how commodities like copper, lithium, and nickel are crucial for renewable energy technologies, thus increasing their demand. Gold, traditionally seen as a safe-haven asset, plays a significant role in this cycle due to its stability and as a hedge against inflation and currency fluctuations. The article explains that while gold does not directly benefit from the green energy boom, its value increases due to economic uncertainties and inflation, making it an attractive investment during such times. The piece also touches on how investors might consider diversifying their portfolios with commodities, particularly gold, to mitigate risks associated with market volatility.
