Commodities play catch-up with cryptocurrencies

by Andrew Wong

When the market chases after cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, it also helps to put a lid on inflation.

This is because cryptocurrencies are not widely used to pay for goods and services at present, so when the prices of such digital assets rise, a massive amount of cash becomes locked by them and consumption will not be stimulated. Thus, the pressure it puts on inflation is limited.

Keep clear of crypto and concentrate on commodities

by Andrew Wong

I still hold my opinion from last week that it will be no surprise if it goes down to US$30,000 in the short term, given that the cryptocoin was trading at that price at the start of the year, and as low as US$3,000 a year ago.

While the CRB Index reflects that commodity prices rose more than 70 percent over the past year, if you look a little deeper, you will find the index has only returned to its 2018 high.

This means there's room for a more than 50 percent increase to the levels reached in 2014.
