Understanding Commodity Cycles: Oil, Gold, and Industrial Metals

Commodities do not move like stocks. Oil, gold, and industrial metals each run on their own cycle, driven by supply shocks, central bank policy, and global growth, and each one leaves a distinct fingerprint on Indian inflation, the rupee, and specific sectors on the NSE and BSE. This course builds a working framework for reading commodity cycles and connects each one to the Indian instruments and stocks investors actually use to act on them.
