Commodity Prices Hold Steady As Traders Await Next Fundamental Spark – What’s Next?

Commodities Trading: Riding the Wave of Economic Shifts and Geopolitical Risks in 2023

That comes as no surprise, considering 1 in 2 people have now turned to trading to capitalize on one of the greatest wealth transfer opportunities of our lifetime!

Traders are rushing back into Commodities at one of the fastest paces ever seen to capitalize on the biggest macro themes driving the markets from Re-Accelerating Inflation, The Global Energy Shock 2.0 to an escalating Global Food Crisis, which is sending Agriculture prices skyrocketing to all-time record highs.

One of the dominant themes of the current economic climate is the return of new geopolitical risks in the Middle East, which has boosted expectations that Commodity prices across the board could hit new all-time record highs in the coming weeks and months.

Last week, we saw huge explosive moves across every Commodity imaginable from the metals, energies to agriculture – gifting traders with endless opportunities to generate spectacular double-digit gains in a single week alone.

After hitting a seven-month low last Friday, Gold prices surged over $100 to post their biggest weekly gain on record since mid-March.

Silver, Palladium and Platinum also saw a significant shift in fortunes with the precious metals rallying almost 12% from their recent lows recorded last week.

Elsewhere in the commodity markets – Energy prices have been whipping up an explosive money-making storm – firmly positioning the entire sector as one of the hottest asset classes of 2023.

Last week, Oil soared over 5%, to post their biggest weekly jump since April, while European gas prices notched up as stunning 40% gain, the largest weekly leap on record, seen so far this year.

The bullish momentum also split over into many other Commodities sending Uranium prices rocketing to the highest level since 2011, while Orange juice prices hit another all-time record high – tallied up an impressive gain of 600% from their 2020 lows.

And the rally might not stop there!

Middle East Conflicts and Commodity Prices: A Global Economic Ripple Effect

Conflicts in the Middle East can send shockwaves through the global economy because the region is a crucial supplier of Energies and Natural Resources as well as a key shipping passageway.

The wider the conflict spreads, the greater the magnitude. The higher energy prices go, the more expensive it will become for companies to mine, produce, and transport essential Commodities – opening the door to a major squeeze in prices.

While Commodities certainly don’t need a crisis to move higher, they definitely love a crisis!

Whichever way you look at it, one thing is clear. It won’t take much for Commodity prices to move significantly higher in this current macro-environment and breach new all-time highs in the coming weeks and months ahead.
