Do Investors Need Commodities in Their Portfolios Again? | Portfolio Manager Views Podcast[

Commodities are back in the spotlight and new data centers, expanding power grids, and manufacturing changes are driving explosive demand. However, years of underinvestment are making it hard to meet that increased consumer demand. With inflation, geopolitical tensions, and the growing demand for energy and raw materials adding to the mix, what questions should investors consider in today's market? In this episode, you'll hear what's driving markets such as copper, gold, oil, and agriculture, and why some investors are taking a fresh look at commodities for diversification and inflation protection.
