Group 2: Rebalancing Details - The BCOM rebalancing will occur from January 9 to January 15, 2024, and will not be completed in a single day [5]. - The largest supply impact from the rebalancing is expected to come from silver, aluminum, and gold, while the largest demand impact will be seen in WTI crude oil, natural gas, and low-sulfur diesel [5]. Group 3: Historical Context - Historical data shows that significant weight changes in the BCOM have generally correlated with price movements of the respective commodities, with the exception of gold in the previous year [8]. - The estimated impact of a 2.4 million ounces gold sell-off could lead to a price decrease of 2.5% to 3.0%, depending on the analysis method used [7].
