FYI: Commodities have fared well in the first half of 2019, with a key index that tracks them already set to recoup the loss it suffered last year.
This year, through Wednesday, the S&P GSCI Index, which tracks 24 commodities across five sectors, with energy its largest weighting, was up about 15%. It fell just over 15% last year. The Bloomberg Commodity Index, which tracks 23 commodities, with gold the heaviest-weighted, has climbed more than 4%.
