Profitability of the portfolio of commodities is negatively correlated with the return of the portfolio of stocks and bonds. This means that commodities are effective in diversifying equity and bond portfolios. And since this yields negative correlation increases with the length of time. The benefits of diversification are greater the longer they are used. Not only that, since the return of the portfolio of commodities depends positively with inflation, commodities are the most appropriate group of assets to protect against inflation.
