Deutsche Bank (NYSE:DB): Current price $46.36
The German megabank believes that commodity prices are set to remain in “subdued territory for years to come,” following a bull run that nearly quadrupled prices in the past 12 years. Banks ranging from Citigroup to Goldman Sachs have announced an end to the commodities supercycle, as the economy in China, which is the number-one user of raw materials, grows at a slower rate and the country transitions to consumer-driven growth. The Standard & Poor’s GSCI Index of 24 raw materials fell by 2.5 percent in 2013 after almost increasing by a factor of four since 2001. In a Tuesday email report,Deutsche Bank’s economists Taimur Baig and Jun Ma remarked that “Many of the factors and fears that drove the supercycle have dissipated in the last few years. Emerging markets demand is robust but not as insatiable as once thought, especially with China’s appearing to be slowing down. Fear of a global spike in inflation due to exceptionally loose monetary policy has proven to be unfounded.”
