However, 2026 may be the year precious metals take a back seat to the BCOM industrial metals of copper, aluminum, nickel, zinc, and lead.<\/p>\n<p>Tight supply balances for industrial metals and a pickup in economic growth after tariffs have been digested could be the forces behind the value of blue collar industrial metals increasing versus blue blood precious metals in 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Theme 2: Cutting off the flow &#8211; supply disruptions of raw materials <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Geopolitical conflicts tend to cause shortages of commodities particularly in or near commodity producing regions around the world. Other force majeure events could have an effect after there has been a relatively calm three-year period for the broader commodity markets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Theme 3: Temperature is rising &#8211; drought and weather issues<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A world of rapidly rising temperatures has led to increased instances of drought and severe weather particularly in commodity growing regions. 2026 could be a difficult year for commodity production as the annual global surface air temperature is near +1.5\u00b0C above pre-industrial levels.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Theme 4: Sector and portfolio allocation rotation &#8211; trends may hit inflection points<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Certain commodity sectors have had multi-year downtrends but seem to be stabilizing. Positioning by market participants could be an indicator showing potential for trend inflection.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, the average allocation to commodities is still low compared to historical averages in asset owners\u2019 alternatives exposure while private markets exposure has increased to levels above target allocations leading to a potential rotation to commodities exposure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Theme 5: The future of energy is here &#8211; thirst for power will be unquenchable <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Power prices surged in 2025 and the cost for the US consumer has risen as the power demand needs of AI and data centers are causing utility bills to skyrocket. With the world seemingly on the path to embrace AI, this new source of demand will be a factor for energy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Theme 6: No stagflation party for markets in 2026 \u2013 stagflation risks rising<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Inflation has remained tepid although at higher levels relative to the past 15 years.

Fundamentally, the supply is expected to miss the mark to satisfy the expected demand on a going forward basis. After a historic rise in precious metals prices over the last two years, the industrial metals complex could take the baton and rise higher in 2026, as an alternative store of value that could appreciate further.<\/p>\n<h2>Cutting off the flow &#8211; supply disruptions of raw materials<\/h2>\n<p>Commodity prices reflect the spot supply\/demand balance for the individual raw materials at any point in time. This contrasts with other asset classes like equities which tend to be priced based on the outlook 12 months or a year into the future. With this being the case, commodity prices tend to move with volatility when breaking news on supply disruptions affects the picture. Geopolitical conflict has risen in the 2020s and is one of the main reasons commodities prices have had higher returns this decade. Exhibit 3 shows geopolitical risks have increased, creating more opportunities for supply disruptions which cause increases in commodity prices. This has coincided with the most uncertain US economic policy after tariffs were introduced when looking back to 1985.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-single-image align-center\">\n    <figure class=\"bbg-single-image__figure\" style=\"max-width:100%\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2126\" height=\"1328\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-3-Geopolitical-Risks-increased-Risks-After-a-Calm-2010s-Decade.png\" class=\"bbg-single-image__image attachment-full\" alt=\"Exhibit 3 - Geopolitical Risks - increased Risks After a Calm 2010s Decade\" title=\"Exhibit-3-Geopolitical-Risks-increased-Risks-After-a-Calm-2010s-Decade\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-3-Geopolitical-Risks-increased-Risks-After-a-Calm-2010s-Decade.png 2126w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-3-Geopolitical-Risks-increased-Risks-After-a-Calm-2010s-Decade.png 552w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-3-Geopolitical-Risks-increased-Risks-After-a-Calm-2010s-Decade.png 800w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-3-Geopolitical-Risks-increased-Risks-After-a-Calm-2010s-Decade.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-3-Geopolitical-Risks-increased-Risks-After-a-Calm-2010s-Decade.png 1536w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-3-Geopolitical-Risks-increased-Risks-After-a-Calm-2010s-Decade.png 2048w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-3-Geopolitical-Risks-increased-Risks-After-a-Calm-2010s-Decade.png 173w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2126px) 100vw, 2126px\" \/>\n        \n            <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<h2>Temperature is rising &#8211; drought and weather issues<\/h2>\n<p>Weather is always a factor contributing to gyrations in commodity prices.

Drought in commodity crop growing regions was prevalent and could continue into 2026 leading to lower crop yields and potentially higher prices for grains and softs. Livestock is also affected but to a lesser extent. Modern irrigation techniques can only do so much in a world of rising temperatures. When rains do come, they can lead to extreme weather and severe flooding which occurred in coffee growing regions in central Vietnam last year.

Commodity trading advisors (CTAs) typically look at trend exhaustion as a consideration on how to size exposure and could shift long only exposure to certain sectors after trends in current exposure seem overdone. Exhibit 5 shows precious metals, livestock, and softs had strong performances over the last three years while energy and grains performance lagged.

If looking to maintain their alternatives\u2019 exposure but considerate of potential overvaluation of private markets exposure, these asset owners could look to reduce and initiate or add commodity exposure.<\/p>\n<p>There have been several instances in the news over the last year where large endowments highlighted they are concerned about their private markets exposure and commodities could be the asset class to continue to benefit from allocation rotation in the alternative sector or derisking from over-valued equities.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>The future of energy is here &#8211; thirst for power will be unquenchable<\/h2>\n<p>It is not possible to have an outlook piece for 2026 without discussing Artificial Intelligence and how it may continue to transform the economy.
