From the desk of Willie Delwiche.
We like to say that dollars flow to where they are treated best. If that is the case, commodities could soon see a surge of inflows. The DBC/AGG ratio shows commodities surging to new multi-year highs versus bonds and the DBC/SPY ratio shows strength versus stocks as well. DBC has more than doubled up SPY on a YTD return basis (43% vs 18%). Commodities are proving again to be a place of relative safety when inflation and bond yields are on the rise. For many investors, commodity exposure isn’t even included as part of the asset allocation discussion. At least, not yet.
