Investing in commodities means investing in the raw materials of the Earth. Commodities can refer to materials that are consumed directly (such as food), natural resources such as agriculture, oil, gas, and precious metals like gold, silver and platinum. Investing in a commodity is like no other investment. Commodities are often diversified and aren’t easily affected by other investment opportunities. One of the reasons commodity investment is so popular with investors is that they can help you better manage market volatility. Commodities are sometimes referred to as the ‘fifth asset class’ after cash, bonds, shares, and property.
