Top 14 Commodities to Invest in

5 Nickel

Projected 2012 average: $17,800/MT

2013 price: $18,300/MT

Like that of copper, nickel prices are also expecting a price elevation, says Morgan Stanley. According to the study by the agency, Nickel supplies remain high. The supply risks from any new project delays and the bang of developments in Indonesia will keep the nickel market primed for a price rally.

6 Zinc

Projected 2012 average: $2,000/MT

2013 price: $2,100/MT

Unlike copper and nickel, zinc is expected to continue to suffer from oversupply for the coming several more quarters. The highest inventories and the increasing rate of demand though proposes a price hike, it is chilled out by the ever slowing production rates of the metal.

7 Gold

Projected 2012 average: $1,677/oz

2013 price: $1,816/oz

According to the study done by Morgan Stanley, the precious metal gold is the best commodity to invest in. The investment rates, risk aversion and the strong physical market fundamentals of the metal will serve as tailwinds, says Morgan Stanley.
