Now Fisher Investments can show the previously covered drivers at work by examining the Materials bull market from 2003 through 2007, focusing particularly on metals.
Fisher Investments' research shows emerging market countries are some of the primary basic materials consumers, and of metals in particular. In 2007, they consumed over 50 percent of global copper and iron ore production.* This wasn't always the case. The developed world was the dominant consumer and growth driver for many years. This changed over time as emerging markets began to industrialize. Fisher Investments found when the emerging markets' growth rate and industrialization process rapidly accelerated, its consumption of basic materials also began to dramatically impact global materials demand.
