When most think of commodities markets, they envision multi million dollar operations accepting delivery of large shipments of bushels of wheat or barrels of oil.
HODLing commodities are recommended for inflation protection. With commodities markets being somewhat impregnable to entry level investors.
If inflation becomes a greater concern, people will become more incentivized to find methods of storing wealth in commodities which could appreciate in value at a rate greater than inflation.

Aluminum, copper and other metals can be purchased from scrap metal markets and held as a commodities play for those seeking to store their wealth in commodities in an entry level setting.
(Aluminum has one advantage over other metals in that it doesn't rust or tarnish as easily.)
