Core Viewpoint - The commodity market in 2025 will experience a tug-of-war between the strong performance of precious metals and the lackluster performance of the energy market, creating significant structural opportunities for investors. This divergence will become more pronounced in 2026, driven by two major global structural changes: the US-China power competition over technological dominance and geopolitical influence, and contrasting supply waves in the energy market, particularly the short-lived oil supply surge and the long-lasting liquefied natural gas (LNG) expansion [1][2]. Group 1: Macro and Micro Trends - The overall commodity market performed strongly in 2025, with the Bloomberg Commodity Index (BCOM) returning 15%, largely due to the excellent performance of industrial metals, especially precious metals, which benefited from expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts [2][3]. - The macro analysis framework identifies US-China geopolitical competition and AI rivalry as core pillars influencing the commodity market, while the micro analysis highlights two energy supply waves starting in 2025, with oil supply peaking in 2026 and LNG supply expanding significantly [3][4]. Group 2: Gold Demand and Price Projections - Central bank gold purchasing demand is expected to remain strong in 2026, averaging around 70 tons per month, which is over four times the long-term average of 17 tons before 2022. This demand is projected to support gold prices, potentially increasing them by approximately 14% by December 2026 [8][9]. - The model for "sticky belief buyers" (central banks and ETFs) indicates that their demand for gold is less volatile compared to opportunistic buyers, which could further stabilize gold prices [7][8]. Group 3: Copper and Industrial Metals Outlook - Despite recent price increases, copper is still viewed as a favored industrial metal due to its critical role in electrification, which drives nearly half of its demand. The forecast for copper prices in 2026 is an average of $11,400 per ton, with expectations of price stabilization and potential declines in the latter half of the year [27][29]. - The supply of copper is expected to face unique constraints, while strong demand from strategic sectors like AI and defense will provide a bottom support for prices [27][29]. Group 4: Energy Market Dynamics - The oil market is anticipated to experience a supply surplus in 2026, with Brent and WTI crude oil prices projected to average $56 and $52 per barrel, respectively. This surplus is attributed to a significant supply wave leading to an excess of 2 million barrels per day [40][43]. - In contrast, the LNG market is expected to see a rapid increase in supply, with global LNG exports projected to grow by over 50% from 2024 to 2030, driven by investments made during the previous energy crisis [49][50]. Group 5: Long-term Price Predictions - The forecast for gold prices suggests an increase to $4,900 by December 2026, while oil prices are expected to recover gradually by 2028, reaching around $80 per barrel as the market adjusts to long-term demand and supply dynamics [57][47]. - The divergence in performance among different commodities is expected to create significant relative value opportunities, with precious metals likely outperforming other sectors [56].

Non - ferrous Metals - **Copper**: The industrial situation is weak recently, and the macro - sentiment is fluctuating, leading to high - level oscillations in copper prices [1]. - **Aluminum**: The driving force in the electrolytic aluminum industry is limited, and the macro - sentiment is fluctuating, resulting in oscillating aluminum prices [1]. - **Alumina**: The domestic fundamentals are weak, and the short - term price remains low [1]. - **Zinc**: The fundamentals of zinc have improved, with the cost center rising. Most of the recent negative factors have been realized, and the zinc price is expected to oscillate strongly as market risk appetite improves [1]. - **Nickel**: The global nickel inventory is high, but due to supply concerns, the Shanghai nickel has rebounded significantly recently. The Indonesian policy has not been implemented but is difficult to disprove in the short term. The short - term nickel price may oscillate strongly. In the long - term, the primary nickel market remains in an oversupply situation [1]. - **Stainless Steel**: The raw material nickel - iron price has stabilized, the social inventory of stainless steel has decreased slightly, and steel mills have increased production cuts in December. The stainless - steel futures are expected to oscillate strongly in the short term [1]. - **Tin**: The non - ferrous tin industry association has issued an initiative, causing the short - term tin price to oscillate weakly. Considering the tense situation in Congo and the improved market risk appetite, low - buying opportunities are recommended [1].

After the announcement of the steel - export licensing system, there are signs of stabilization. Attention should be paid to the spot situation this week and the winter - storage replenishment by downstream enterprises [1]. Agricultural Products - **Palm Oil**: Although the high - frequency data has improved, it is difficult to change the expectation of a loose supply in the producing areas. Rebound - shorting is recommended [1]. - **Soybean Oil**: It is affected by the decline in the CBOT market and other domestic oils, showing a weak trend [1]. - **Rapeseed Oil**: The short - term positive factors of raw - material shortage are expected to be exhausted, and there is an expectation of a good harvest in the global main producing areas. Short - selling the 05 contract is recommended [1]. - **Cotton**: There is support from the purchase price of seed cotton, but there is currently no driving force. Future attention should be paid to the government's policies, planting - area intentions, weather during the planting period, and peak - season demand [1]. - **Sugar**: There is a consensus among short - sellers due to the global surplus and increased domestic supply. If the price continues to fall, there is strong cost support, but there is a lack of continuous fundamental driving force in the short term [1]. - **Live Pigs**: Affected by snow and rain in the producing areas, the supply is affected, but the spot price is relatively stable. Farmers are reluctant to sell, and downstream enterprises are cautious.

Recently, the market has oscillated following reserve - related rumors [1]. - **Paper Pulp**: The futures are fluctuating due to the contradiction between weak demand and strong supply expectations. It is recommended to wait and see for single - side operations and consider a 1 - 5 reverse spread for the spread [1]. - **Logs**: Affected by the decline in foreign - market quotes and spot prices, the 01 contract is under pressure as it approaches the delivery month and is expected to oscillate weakly [1].
