Summary:

In today’s rapidly evolving market landscape, commodities can provide diversification as well as exposure to a strategic approach that can capture the structural changes reshaping our world. We examine five commodities that can help investors either navigate near-term uncertainty or gain exposure to the materials at the center of global growth and electrification efforts.

During this webinar, we’ll provide insights for these key commodities:

  • Gold & Silver: Robust Central Bank purchases and growing uncertainty pushed gold to new all-time highs, with silver’s discounted valuation relative to gold signaling the metal is set to potentially benefit from any rebound in global economic activity.
  • Uranium: This element underpins baseload power output worldwide. Investment across the supply chain, from uranium mining to reactor construction, will likely be vital for achieving energy security.
  • Copper: The metal’s robust demand outlook, underpinned by structural trends such as electrification and urbanization, meets a challenged supply picture.
  • Lithium: The silvery-white metal is at the center of global electrification trends, with lithium-ion batteries widely used in electric vehicles and battery energy storage systems.
