Soros sounds alarm on oil bubble

Billionaire investor George Soros is to tell US lawmakers on Tuesday that a bubble in the making is under way in oil and other commodities and that commodity indices are not a legitimate asset class for institutional investors.He is expected to tell a congressional committee that rising oil prices are the result of a number of fundamental changes and factors in the market, but that the relatively recent ability of investment institutions to invest in the futures market through index funds is exaggerating price rises and creating an oil market bubble.I find commodity index buying eerily reminiscent of a similar craze for portfolio insurance which led to the stock market crash of 1987, Mr Soros will tell the Senate commerce committee, according to a draft text seen by the Financial Times.In both cases, the institutions are piling in on one side of the market and they have sufficient weight to unbalance it. If the trend were reversed and the institutions as a group headed for the exit as they did in 1987 there would be a crash.The comments by Mr Soros, chairman of Soros Fund Management, a $17bn hedge fund, are likely to fuel a debate about the role of speculators including hedge funds, pension funds and other institutional investors in the rising costs of energy and food. The fund declined to comment on its specific market positions.Regulators and other officials have said surges in oil and commodity prices are mainly due to fundamental supply and demand factors combined with a depreciating dollar, which is used to price and trade commodities.However, some politicians believe that the new wall of money entering the asset class through commodity indices is a key factor. Tuesdays Senate hearing into energy market manipulation and federal enforcement regimes is one of a series of held in Washington in recent months examining aspects of the market.Mr Soros said index-buying was based on a misconception and commodity indices are not a legitimate asset class. When the idea was first promoted, there was a rationale for it ... But the field got crowded and that profit opportunity disappeared, his prepared remarks say.Nevertheless, the asset class continues to attract additional investment just because it has turned out to be more profitable than other asset classes. It is a classic case of a misconception that is liable to be self-reinforcing in both directions.Mr Soros will say a crash in the oil market is not imminent. But he says it is desirable to discourage commodity index investing or the elephant in the room in the futures market though not with more regulation.
