Global investors favouring cash over commodities
Investors intend to trim down their investments in commodities. End of Federal Reserve's bond-buying programme, Budget cuts by US lawmakers and improvement in US and global economies are probable reasons that prompts investors to reduce their investments in commodities. US economic growth slowed to 1.8% in the first quarter of this year, down from 3.1% in the last quarter of 2010.
Commodities turned volatile
Commodity prices suffer their biggest decline in more than two years, led by the steepest drop in oil prices since the fall of 2008. Investors expect oil prices to fall further in the next six months as US and global economies are on the track of betterment.
The Standard & Poor's GSCI Total Return Index of 24 commodities dropped 11% last week, led by a 27% collapse in silver prices. The gauge fell 3.9% on Wednesday and another 0.9% by 9:29 a.m. in London on Thursday.
Global investors still consider equities to be among the most lucrative places for their money, with more than 1 in 3 forecasting that stocks will provide superior returns over the next year.
