Here at US Global Investors, we're very bullish on commodities, particularly industrial and precious metals. The manufacturing PMI in a number of countries shows that factories are expanding capacity on a greater number of new orders. In August, the US manufacturing PMI registered 56.0, the highest reading since November 2018. The PMI in China – the world's biggest importer of metals and other raw materials – was 51.5 last month, well above the five-year average of 50.6.
As I've noted before, commodities continue to look remarkably cheap relative to stocks. Below is a chart showing the ratio between the S&P GSCI and S&P 500. At no other time going back to 1972 have commodities been as undervalued as they are today. If Goldman's projections turn out to be accurate, now could be a phenomenal buying opportunity.
