During his time in Europe for Mines and Money London, Frank Holmes joins CNBC to discuss how commodities are performing around the world, particularly in various currencies. Frank starts by using the example of copper, stating that if investors are bullish on this commodity then it’s important they recognize which countries rely on it, such as Peru. He says assessing the commodity this way is a “two-for-one” deal because not only do you see copper prices rising in investment terms, the country’s currency is rising as well – historically the two track one another closely.
Frank says similar to the link between the Peruvian sol and copper, the Australian dollar has linked to iron ore, the Canadian dollar historically tracks oil prices and even the Colombian peso has had a correlation to oil and gas.
