So commodities will reflect what's going on now.
And that is one of the reasons why it can be an inflation hedge, because as demand for commodities goes up, the prices goes up.
When we talk about commodities, we're talking generally about natural resources.
So that can range everything from crude oil to corn to cocoa, even to gold and silver.
So it's a wide variety of products.
Commodities don't always get the attention that stocks do.
And they're a great hedge because they're usually not correlated with stocks.
They can be a good diversification hedge.
They can be a hedge against volatility.
They can be a hedge against inflation.
They can also play a safe haven role.

And when CPI is less than 2%, commodities had negative returns 84% of the time.
And the reason why that is commodities reflect current prices.
as opposed to stocks, which may reflect future earnings potentials.
So commodities will reflect what's going on now.
And that is one of the reasons why it can be an inflation hedge, because as demand for commodities goes up, the prices goes up.
