This week, the Federal Reserve managed to hold interest rates steady yet again, but we all know this can't last forever.

Inflation fears are starting to creep up on the American economy and are boosting prices across the board. Commodities such as gold, timber crude oil, steel and corn are seeing huge price appreciation and should continue to see upward movement in the months ahead.

Now is the time to make sure that your portfolio is properly positioned to benefit from this commodity surge later this year. Metal & mining stocks, agricultural stocks and energy stocks are just some of the areas where high commodity prices will provide bigger profits. There are also a number of commodity ETFs that are good buys right now.
