Commodity of the Year goes to…

The year 2005 was a most memorable one for the commodities markets, with the perennial A-list of commodities grabbing most of the headlines.

Nearly three years into this bull market, and commodities finally are starting to garner mainstream attention. Global economic expansion, natural disasters and market valuations are piquing commodity interest not only for investors and speculators, but also the general public. People are finally starting to understand the importance of natural resources in their everyday lives.
