Commodities and Equities Moving in Tandem


Stock Screen 

The correlation between Commodities and Equities has been historically low.  However, it has risen significantly in the last decade, with returns on commodities considerably outpacing equities post-recession. Sanket Kulkarni's article broadly highlights the reasons for such strong correlation and if such a relationship is sustainable going forward.   Check out "Commodities and Equities Moving in Tandem" to read more about it.
