GSG For 2025: Diversified Commodity Exposure
The commodities composite rose 12.50% in 2024, driven by a 58.14% gain in soft commodities, despite a strong dollar and higher interest rates. iShares S&P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust ETF, a diversified commodity ETF with significant energy exposure, increased 8.52% in 2024, outperforming the energy sector but underperforming the broader commodity composite. The case for higher commodity prices in 2025 includes persistent inflation, a growing global population, and a potential economic rebound in China, despite risks like a strong dollar and geopolitical turmoil.
GSG: Commodity Outlook Is Strong But High Oil Exposure Is A Risk
GSG's high liquidity and broad commodity access make it a solid portfolio diversifier, but energy sector risks warrant caution. Positive catalysts include bullish natural gas fundamentals, gold's inflation hedge potential, and the $500 billion Stargate AI infrastructure initiative driving demand for industrial metals. Livestock sector weight increases, supported by tight cattle supplies and strong consumer demand, further bolster GSG's diversified commodity exposure.
GSG: A New Commodity Supercycle May Be Upon Us
In this article, we assess the potential for commodities to outperform amid growing anticipation that the Federal Reserve (Fed) will begin to unwind monetary policy in September. We argue that commodities as a whole have never been this cheap compared to equities since the 1970s, and that we could be entering into a new commodity supercycle. For investors looking to build a more selective and concentrated exposure to commodities, we warn that this could be a risky endeavour. However, being selective is absolutely critical for alpha.
