strongest-performing asset classes in 2026 amid inflation, supply disruptions, weather-related pressures and heightened geopolitical uncertainty. This has been reflected in the performance of the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM), a broadly diversified benchmark of commodity futures, which rose 33% through the first three quarters of 2026. A very conducive macro environment led to the current commodity bull run. We discussed key themes this year which have played out so far such as an increase in geopolitical conflicts, inflation, industrial metals outperforming precious metals, and weather disruptions.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n    <section class=\"bbg-row  text--black

during commodity supercycles like the one we are in now, we can have several years of positive roll yields. This adds further cushion for long-only investors looking to add commodities for diversification or inflation hedging purposes in their portfolios. Exhibit 1 shows how the total return of BCOM rose 9% more than spot prices with 5% contributed to the positive roll yield and the remaining 4% coming from the collateral yield (SOFR rate as of mid-June 2026).<\/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=\"2206\" height=\"1312\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-1-BCOM-Total-Return-Rose-9-percent-More-Than-Spot-Prices-with-a-5-percent-Positive-Roll-Yield.png\" class=\"bbg-single-image__image attachment-full\" alt=\"Exhibit 1- BCOM Total Return Rose 9 percent More Than Spot Prices with a 5 percent Positive Roll Yield\" title=\"Exhibit 1- BCOM Total Return Rose 9 percent More Than Spot Prices with a 5 percent Positive Roll Yield\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-1-BCOM-Total-Return-Rose-9-percent-More-Than-Spot-Prices-with-a-5-percent-Positive-Roll-Yield.png 2206w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-1-BCOM-Total-Return-Rose-9-percent-More-Than-Spot-Prices-with-a-5-percent-Positive-Roll-Yield-552x328.png 552w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-1-BCOM-Total-Return-Rose-9-percent-More-Than-Spot-Prices-with-a-5-percent-Positive-Roll-Yield-800x476.png 800w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-1-BCOM-Total-Return-Rose-9-percent-More-Than-Spot-Prices-with-a-5-percent-Positive-Roll-Yield-100x60.png 100w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-1-BCOM-Total-Return-Rose-9-percent-More-Than-Spot-Prices-with-a-5-percent-Positive-Roll-Yield-768x457.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-1-BCOM-Total-Return-Rose-9-percent-More-Than-Spot-Prices-with-a-5-percent-Positive-Roll-Yield-1536x914.png 1536w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-1-BCOM-Total-Return-Rose-9-percent-More-Than-Spot-Prices-with-a-5-percent-Positive-Roll-Yield-2048x1218.png 2048w, https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/41\/Exhibit-1-BCOM-Total-Return-Rose-9-percent-More-Than-Spot-Prices-with-a-5-percent-Positive-Roll-Yield-182x108.png 182w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2206px) 100vw, 2206px\" \/>\n        \n            <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p>As the underlying futures curves for most of the major commodities remain in a state of backwardation,or downward sloping, a positive roll yield can be achieved over time.<\/p>\n<p>After the global supply of oil and byproducts was disrupted at the start of the US-Iran war in February, most of the energy commodity futures curves moved to steep backwardation and have stayed that way over the last seven months.<\/p>\n<p>Exhibit 2 from the Curve Analysis tab of our Bloomberg Intelligence Commodity Dashboard shows the extreme level of backwardation this year for the energy sector in particular.

During the live history of the index since 1998, 2000 was the only year which came close to this level. Notably, BCOM averaged 11% over the last five full calendar years to the end of 2025 with the 2020s so far proving a strong macroeconomic environment for the asset class.<\/p>\n<p>Drilling down into sector performance over the last quarter, energy continued to outperform.<\/p>\n<p>The continued conflict in the Middle East was a major factor, while demand has also recovered as inventories of oil byproducts such as diesel have declined. Concerns from market participants have led to prices across the sector remaining bid.<\/p>\n<p>Grains and soft commodities were also higher in the third quarter as weather issues played out in key crop growing regions around the world.

This is broadly consistent with historical patterns: significant supply disruptions have tended to push commodity prices higher as market participants adjust in order to determine what price will pully supply\/demand imbalances back to equilibrium.<\/p>\n<p>Not only the tactical case for a commodities portfolio allocation was demonstrated this year, but a strategic asset allocation has shown to contribute positively to portfolio performance over the last three years. This decade the world has become more fragmented, costs have increased, conflict has occurred on an increasingly regular basis leading to supply and transit disruptions, and the global economy is still humming along with increased demand for raw materials. \u00a0These conditions may remain relevant for commodity markets. BCOM has stood the test of time and the commodities asset class has demonstrated the potential diversification benefits in 2026 with one quarter to go.<\/p>\n<p>Interested to learn more?
