Some commodities, which were mispriced due to liquidity risks, may return to their fundamental pricing logic as the market stabilizes. The 2026 asset allocation report highlights three main lines for the commodity market post-liquidity shock [4][14] - Precious metals are expected to enter a consolidation phase after a period of broad increases, supported by long-term narratives such as the weakening of global sovereign currency credit and the "de-dollarization" trend [4][17] Non-Ferrous Metals - Non-ferrous metals like copper and aluminum are expected to benefit from structural changes in demand driven by new economic sectors such as AI and renewable energy. Despite recent adjustments due to liquidity shocks, the fundamental pricing mechanisms for these metals remain robust [5][18] Chemical Sector - The chemical sector is anticipated to see continued improvement in market conditions, driven by supply-side adjustments and structural changes in demand. The sector is becoming a key area for capital inflows, despite recent declines linked to precious metals [6][19] New Energy Metals - New energy metals, particularly lithium carbonate, are expected to gradually move towards supply-demand balance, supported by policy adjustments and demand growth.
