Focus may be on volatile oil prices right now, but investors shouldn’t overlook the strong performance in other commodities, one expert warns.
Ten commodities were in backwardation this month, a sign that markets outside of oil are recovering, according to a recent note from S&P Dow Jones Indices: copper, corn, cocoa, silver, coffee, live cattle, feeder cattle, heating oil, Kansas wheat, and lean hogs.
Backwardation occurs when the present spot price of a commodity is higher than the futures price, typically signaling a surge in demand and shortages in supply.
