What’s Hot: Oil prices begin pricing the peace

The expected US-Iran MoU has shifted oil market focus from supply disruption to supply recovery. While reopening the Strait of Hormuz could restore oil flows, uncertainties remain around security, insurance and sanctions relief. Iranian production recovery and the UAE's exit from OPEC could boost supply, while weak Asian demand raises the risk of a significant oil surplus emerging in 2027.

What’s Hot: What falling oil Inventories could mean for energy markets

Global oil inventories are falling at a record pace as the Strait of Hormuz disruption removes around 13 million barrels per day of supply. While headline inventories remain high, usable stocks are being depleted rapidly.

Silver: Surfing on gold’s coattails

Silver’s outlook ultimately hinges less on its own fundamentals and more on its relationship with gold.

What’s Hot: Cotton’s comeback

Cotton has surged to two-year highs, driven by a structural shift from surplus to deficit, Iran-war-related polyester cost pressures, and a surge in speculative positioning.

Silver outlook to Q3 2026 - Silver’s second act: the metal’s rally has room to run

Silver surged to a record $53.89/oz in October 2025, supported by strong fundamentals rather than speculation. With gold forecast to reach $4,530/oz by Q3 2026, silver could climb to $62/oz, driven by tight supply and resilient industrial demand. Physical market shortages and policy uncertainty add further momentum to the rally.

Commodity Outlook: Resilience amid realignment in the Year of the Snake

Commodities have proven resilient in 2025, with gold consolidating as a safe haven amid deficits, dollar weakness, and geopolitical risks. Industrial metals face tariff-driven distortions but remain vital for energy transition, AI, and defence. Oil stays volatile but capped, while a softening dollar adds broad support. Scarcity, security, and strategy define the outlook.
