FYI: What was the hottest asset class at the end of 2017? No one would blame you if you guessed cryptocurrencies or U.S. equities. Both asset classes performed phenomenally throughout 2017, breaking records along the way.
But believe it or not, the group doing the best at the end of the year—and which is still showing signs of strength as the page flips to 2018—is none other than old-school commodities. In fact, commodities are in the midst of their longest streak of gains on record, according to Bloomberg: 13-consecutive days of gains and counting (as of Jan. 2).
