Commodities: Trade War Target and Shelter
Manage episode 215465684 series 1542858
Among the most vulnerable and inviting targets in any trade war are commodities—the energy, metal, and foodstuffs on which the world depends. Tariffs on these necessities discourage consumption, inhibit growth, and may well add to the challenges facing the global economy at a time when it must grow faster to escape the burden of debt. We assess the likely duration of the looming trade war, its potential consequences for global economies, and its implications for commodity investors.
