New Issue of Money and Markets Discusses Global Resource Explosion

Jupiter, Fla. (PRWEB) November 7, 2007 -- Martin Weiss looks at global economies and a new force that is starting to drive up the prices for natural resources. Dr. Weiss discusses the natural resource boom and the forces that are causing the demand.

The natural resource boom is one of the world's most explosive investment areas, spinning off profits that are putting virtually every other sector to shame and driven higher by the most powerful economic forces on the planet. This price explosion is being driven by the two most powerful economic forces on earth today, the demand from China for resources and the unparalleled plunge in the U.S. dollar.

China isn't the only Asian country responsible for the big demand push that's behind the natural resource boom. India, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia all have a part in creating this demand. For the past several years, the bull market was driven almost entirely by supply and demand; China and India essentially devouring the world's natural resources.

And now, on top of the supply-and-demand forces, there is a new, far more explosive force that has burst onto the scene, a new force that is starting to drive up the prices for these same natural resources at a far faster pace.

That force is money. Paper money is being printed and injected into nearly every economy on the planet. Central bankers are panicked because of the housing crisis in the United States. And it's depressing the value of the dollar against other currencies. The evidence of that is everywhere. In surging money supplies all over the world, and in the massive infusions of cold cash by central banks.

Where does that take investors? It takes investors beyond rising foreign stock markets, beyond rising foreign currencies and far beyond the kinds of profit opportunities seen so far. Bottom line: The global resource explosion is not just this or that commodity. It's in all commodities and natural resources.

Gold has already gone through the roof. And it's not just the falling dollar that supports higher prices in gold. It's also the underlying fundamentals. In South Africa, the world's largest producer, gold production has fallen to its lowest level since the great strike of 1922. Gold production is also falling in other countries.

Meanwhile in Asia there are construction cranes everywhere. Car ownership in China is only 40 vehicles per 1,000 people, compared to 900 per every 1,000 in the U.S. If that stat just rises to 100 per 1,000, it will overwhelm the markets for steel, aluminum, platinum, rubber, and iron. And that's just the auto industry, which pales in comparison to what's happening with the demand for food in Asia, with the surge in wealth and the shift to Western diets. Take wheat, for example, millions of Asians are shifting from their traditional rice diet to a diet tied to bread and wheat.

The peak for wheat during the last money-pumping period was $30.46 per bushel. Now, the most recent peak is $8.87 per bushel. Wheat is selling for less than one-third of its historical price in this kind of environment, even without the huge new demand coming from Asia.

There is a similar pattern in corn. Its prior peak was $16.29 per bushel. Now its recent peak is only $4.21.

"Crude oil is the single most important natural resource on the planet. Oil is the leader. And it's pointing the way for nearly all commodities. The last time oil prices spiked higher, there was actually a surplus of oil in the world. And now, over 80% of the world's oil is gone. The 20% that's left is more expensive to get out the ground and to refine. Meanwhile, there are three billion people on the planet who are consuming minimal amounts of energy since the last time oil prices spiked a generation ago," Dr. Weiss states.
