With the dollar devaluation that is happening, I expect commodity prices to increase since they are typically dollar denominated. This happened after the Great Recession of 08/09 when the Fed used QE to devalue the dollar. Back then, oil rose to record highs.
While oil still below those all time highs, there has been a significant increase on Gold and Silver prices in the last few months to all time highs.. I expect other commodities will soon follow upward, but maybe not as drastic.
Since I don't know which commodities will go up the most, I decided to buy a commodity ETF, PDBC. I chose PDBC over DBC since PDBC is a non K-1 ETF. I avoid ETFs that issue K-1s since it may cause complexity when filing taxes. For examples, K-1s are sometimes issued as late as October results in either filing an extension or amendment to include the K-1 in the tax return.
Disclosure: I purchased PDBC in our accounts this past week, January 27-30, 2026.
