The commodity market rally is approaching a critical juncture, with the CRB index nearing its historic 2008 peak.
While the current upswing lacks the explosive momentum of the 2020-2022 surge, it has established a sustained second wave of the commodity supercycle.
Market participants are now focused on whether this momentum can be sustained or if the rally is reaching its terminal phase.
The primary variable determining the trajectory of this rally is the stance of global central banks.
Monetary policy decisions are increasingly viewed as the decisive factor for commodity valuations, as interest rate paths influence both demand expectations and the strength of the US dollar.
A shift toward tighter policy or prolonged higher rates could dampen the appetite for non-yielding assets, potentially capping further gains in energy and metals.
