Ian Henderson, fund manager of the UK-registered JPMorgan Natural Resources Fund, told Reuters in an interview that China's latest move to rein in its booming economy would dampen speculative activity but metal inventories remained low.
"I think people are crazy not to be in it (commodities). I just can't imagine anybody being so naive as to imagine this is not a revolution like the way people have never seen before in their lifetimes," Henderson said late Monday.
"It's absurd to imagine that with the enormous amount of infrastructure going on, whether that be railroads or roads or power stations or subways or airports, this is other than a revolution in terms of demand going on."
