Commodities & Inflation
Commodities including oil (WTI), copper, and agricultural products are key indicators of inflation and global economic cycles. AI data center power demand is structurally supporting copper and natural gas prices, while OPEC+ production cuts defend oil price floors. The Iran war and Hormuz blockade have turned the oil price surge risk into reality.
