Research Report (comments)

Commodity prices change when there are unexpected changes to supply and demand of the target commodity. WikiWealth tries to predict these unexpected changes by examining the companies, which supply and demand the commodity (See Fundamental Commodity Analysis). When demand potential is greater then supply potential, then prices will increase; the opposite is also true. WikiWealth's Main Street Analysis captures - along with user help - the impact of supply and demand changes by analyzing the commodity's importance. In general, the more important the commodity, the faster the price will increase when commodity demand increases. A "Buy" rating from both approaches mean the commodity has high potential to increase in value.

Staples Industry Analysis (edit / improve) Description: The consumer staple industry includes companies whose sales come from necessary consumer staple purchases such as rent, mortgage and food. Valuation Analysis: Based on WikiWealth's Wall Street analysis, this industry is a Hold, but with a ~ 30 percent potential. The Main Street analysis says a Buy with SWOT strengths much great than weaknesses and SWOT opportunities roughly the same as threats. Trade Analysis: Some of the main trade hubs include Argentina, Brazil, USA, Colombia, Greece, Italy, Turkey, and Indonesia, while the main staple commodities include chicken, corn, milk, oats, rice, sugar, wheat. Profit Conclusion: The consumer staple industry tends to be less sensitive to economic cycles. Look for undervalued staple investments at any time in the business cycle, and especially during the late stages of a bull markets when investors become more defensive. The global economy is currently in a recession, therefore, investors are rotating money out of consumer staples and into faster growth industries.
