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.

The piece also touches on how investors might consider diversifying their portfolios with commodities, particularly gold, to mitigate risks associated with market volatility.
