Why does the quantitative easing monetary policy of the US dollar make commodity futures prices rise sharply?
"Quantitative easing monetary policy", to put it bluntly, means that the United States began to print money with printing machines.

Give a simple example to explain why commodity prices have soared:

Assuming that the total amount of money circulating in the market is 1 trillion dollars, if the US government implements quantitative easing monetary policy and prints 1 trillion dollars, the total amount of money circulating in the market will be 2 trillion dollars, and the number of goods in the market will not change greatly in the short term. In other words, if you buy a commodity with the original value of 1 trillion dollars now, the price of natural commodities will be high as long as it is 2 trillion dollars. More specifically, suppose there is only one commodity on the market, with a total of 65,438+billion cars. At present, the total amount of money is 1 trillion, which is equivalent to the price of a car of 1 ten thousand yuan. If you print 1 trillion banknotes at this time, then it is 2 trillion yuan in currency circulation. At this time, the price of a car should be 20,000.

Examples of other goods are just like cars. What I said is relatively simple, but this is the truth.
