Topics:Western Europe | Stock Market | Stock Options | Stock Picks
Companies:RWE AG
Water will eventually be traded like oil and gold and investors should look to utilities right now for safe profit in volatile markets, according to one strategist.

Investors should buy French utility GDF Suez or German utility RWE, which have large exposure to water resources, as well as utility exchange-traded funds, Jakobsen said on "Squawk Box Europe."
There is a scarcity of water in Asian countries like China and that will fuel the growth in those markets, he added.
