Analyst Daan Struyven suggests that gold and oil can be used as tools to hedge against inflation in a long-term investment portfolio. He points out that at a time when there is concern about the credibility of American institutions and the ability of oil to withstand supply shocks, gold is attractive as a safe haven. Struyven recommends a higher allocation to gold and a lower allocation to oil (though still positive) than usual, stating that commodities are key hedge tools against inflation shocks, which can often damage bond and stock portfolios.
