Commodities are experiencing broad-based weakness amid dollar strength and shifting Fed expectations, with precious metals and energy leading the decline. The ongoing commodities supercycle faces headwinds from tighter monetary policy outlook and mixed global growth signals.
Precious Metals Gold trades at $4485.00/oz (-1.21% weekly), pressured by rising real yields and reduced safe-haven demand. Central bank buying remains supportive at current levels. Silver at $75.42/oz (-1.31% weekly) underperforms on industrial demand concerns. Plat
inum ($1931.70/oz) and palladium ($1366.50/oz) both decline over 1.20% weekly on automotive sector weakness. Copper rallies to $6.39/lb (+2.20% weekly), signaling resilient infrastructure demand despite broader risk-off sentiment.
Energy Oil markets face significant selling pressure with WTI at $91.16/bbl (-5.39% weekly) and Brent at $94.41/bbl (-7.96% weekly). OPEC+ production discipline remains intact, but demand concerns from China's economic slowdown weigh heavily. The Brent-WTI spread widens to $3.25/bbl on US inventory builds. Natural gas climbs to $3.00/MMBtu (+3.59% i

Agriculture Wheat declines to $627.00/bu (-3.17% weekly) on improved weather forecasts and strong global supplies. Corn at $455.25/bu and soybeans at $1184.50/bu show relative resilience ahead of planting season.
