Commodities: This depends on the commoditiy. Gold is up by a factor of 50 over the last 20 years. Coffee is not. The reason for the latter is that the printed money goes into the hands of already rich people. Those are not investing it into goods for their daily lifes. They buy gold, houses, shares etc.
Currency marktes: Which ones did you look at? Which currency has not been printed in vast quantities lately?
