Cover Story: A relative price strength ratio (RS) between U.S. stocks (S&P 500) and U.S. commodity markets (producer prices, PPI) is analyzed using an econometric model of cycles with data from 1871 to 2022. The study includes the S&P GSCI and the Bloomberg Commodity indexes using data from 1970 to 2022 and 1960 to 2022, respectively. The financial crisis of 2008 and the COVID-19 pandemic impacts are highlighted. The overriding conclusion, based on a model that approximates an optimal bandpass filter, is that a cyclical phenomenon exists between stock markets and commodity markets for both aggregate and tradeable indexes that can last, from peak to peak, about 31 years. Measuring returns and risks in a manner consistent with these cycles sheds new light on portfolio diversification using commodities. View this paper
