With global inflation surging at the fastest pace in three decades, it's no surprise that Commodities have firmly positioned themselves as one of the best performing asset classes of 2021 – with everything from the metals, energies to agriculture markets hitting new record highs almost weekly.

There are plenty of reasons why Commodities are on the move from rapidly surging global inflation, tightening supply, logistical bottlenecks to booming demand across many highly essential Commodities as world economies recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.

So far this year, a long-list of Commodities have already blasted through all-time record highs including Aluminium, Copper, Cotton, Coffee, Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Nickel, Lithium, Wheat and Uranium just to name a few.

In total 27 Commodities ranging from the metals, energies to soft commodities have tallied up double to triple digit gains, so far in 2021 and this is just the beginning.

Looking ahead, inflation will continue to drive the markets again this week. The biggest macro events that traders will not want to miss out on include; U.S CPI Inflation Data, Producer Price Index and Consumer Sentiment.

Trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk and may not be suitable for all investors. The value of your investments and income may go down as well as up. You should not speculate with capital that you cannot afford to lose. Ensure you fully understand the risks and seek independent advice if necessary.
