It should come as no surprise that many of today's market-moving headlines revolve around inflation, particularly commodity inflation. However, the direct impact of commodity prices on specific equities is often lost among traders. For instance, did you know that during crude oil's 90%+ price run from December 2021 to June 2022, ConocoPhillips (COP) stock price rose 88%? Did you also know that when crude oil’s price fell 26% from the recent highs, the stock price of United Parcel Service (UPS), which is heavily dependent on fuel prices, increased by 21%?
Ignoring what commodity prices are doing is comparable to trading with one eye closed. Identifying commodity trends and connecting the dots to companies that stand to benefit or be harmed by these trends can be very powerful in determining which way the wind is blowing in equity markets.
