2025 has been off to a wild start - lots of volatility, lots of opportunities, lots of unknowns. Traders have continued to monitor President Trumps moves with implenting tariffs on certain countries. Now with the automotive industry being included, investors brace to see the outcome in the coming months.
Many of the food products in commodities have been affected. Hire prices for consumers have hit for many products. Some items being harder to obtain due to shortages and trade issues. All leading to higher prices temporarily for buyers.
The energy market in commodities has been one directly affected too. With anything from EVs to AI corporations being moved due to this domino effect.
US data has also shown inflation is on the rise, consumer spending is down and consumer confidence is wavering. With continued data like this, many ask, what will the FED do to rates? This is also a huge factor in the coming quarter.
A market that appears to be attractive at the moment for traders is the metals. Gold and silver continue to push higher. So whether it is in the futures or physicals, this is an area to diversify in.
For now, traders should continue to trade cautiously as always in times of uncertainty and changes. Many times in history investors have seen theses times as good long-term opportunities. We will have to wait and see.
