CRU's top five commodities for 2022 – spoiler gold, silver didn't make the list

While gold and silver are trapped in a range, one market analyst said investors should look at other commodities with a lot more potential in 2022. Monday, in the latest Kitco News commodity podcast with Neils Christensen, editor of Kitco News, and Phillip Streible, chief market strategist at Blue Line Futures, Paul Robinson, managing director of CRU, presented his top five commodity picks for the year. Robinson said that his U.K.-based research firm sees fertilizer as the top-performing commodity this year. This comes after prices rallied more than 50% last year. He added that rising food prices are driving crop demand, which is driving the need for fertilizers. He noted that in this space, Canadian potash companies should do well in this environment.
