Extremely Bullish Scenario For Commodities

"According to such renowned market experts as author and investing icon Jim Rogers, a number of “wild cards” are in place this time around, meaning this bull market in commodities may have a lot more room to run than its more-typical predecessors. Three factors in particular are extremely bullish for commodities investors:

Global Infrastructure Spending: The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) last year estimated that worldwide investments in power-generation, water and transportation infrastructure projects would exceed $40 trillion by 2030 - and that was before countries around the world enacted hundreds of billions of dollars in stimulus-spending programs.

Improving Worldwide Living Standards: About half the world’s 6.7 billion inhabitants are simultaneously pushing to improve their living standards, a fact that by itself stands to create a commodities demand shock never before seen - enough by itself, in fact, to extend the secular commodities bull by five additional years.

Modernization Efforts in Major Markets: The modernization initiatives in China, India, Brazil, Eastern Europe and other portions of Asia are extremely bullish for commodities prices.

So if you’re looking for a place to stash your cash for the next 12-15 years, look no further: Commodities are the key profit play to make." in NuWire Investor
