Commodities markets are insanely complex and fascinating, but that fascinating complexity has real-world consequences. They're also very volatile. And this volatility affects consumers and producers of goods and services, which is one of the most critical drivers of the global economy, responsible for trillions of dollars in goods each year. 

Commodities are highly susceptible to price variations, sometimes minute to minute, and can be influenced by a wide range of factors, from weather patterns to geopolitical instability. As a result, even the most experienced investors can find themselves caught off guard by sudden price movements. But data and history suggest that recent extraordinary price increases in commodities may be driven by Ponzi-like speculation.
