As inflation heats up, the stocks of some commodity-based companies can move higher. These companies hold a large part of their assets in commodities, so as their prices move higher, the companies become more valuable.
They include Exxon Mobil Corporation(NYSE:XOM),Southern Copper Corporation(NYSE:SCCO), and Newmont Corporation(NYSE:NEM).
Exxon benefits from higher oil prices. The stock has hit resistance at the $63.50 level and it could be on the verge of a breakout.
