Will Higher Rates Cramp the Markets?
Anyone who has run a marathon knows the last six miles are brutal — no matter how well the first…
Commodity market investors received a ray of hope in the early months of 2014. After several years of consecutive declines, commodities, as measured by the Bloomberg Commodity Index, began the year on strong footing and posted a gain of 7.1% in the first half of the year. By the end of the third quarter, however, commodities entered negative territory, and the year-to-date return through November for the Bloomberg Commodity Index had fallen to -10.2% (Exhibit 1). In this newsletter, we examine the recent developments in the commodity markets and evaluate their prospects for the coming quarters.
