    Commodities tied to the fluctuations in the global economic cycle are preparing for another downturn during the first-half of 2023. In many cases, corrective declines that began mid/late-2021 or early-2022. This depended greatly on the specific commodity to remain incomplete with further declines forecast this year, in 2023. Recession fears have since been diluted in January’s optimism, but downside risks remains.

    Base Metals like Copper were initially down in 2022 by -35% but rallied higher from July’s low by +33% per cent. Eroding those earlier losses. Prices are set to decline again though, from current levels.

    Energy markets which were big outperformers in 2022 are also expected lower this year. Crude/Brent oil are expected to see some of the biggest declines together with benchmark XLE and XOP ETF’s. These declines can pull prices down by -40% per cent through the first-half of the year.

    In contrast, Precious Metals bottomed in September ’22 having undergone a successful counter-trend completion over the last two years. Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium are all set to outperform and trend higher whilst industrial commodities decline. Whilst 2-year uptrends are underway, pockets of downward corrections are expected to mirror the US$ dollar’s movements. Find out more amazing details in our Elliott Wave Commodities Video 2023!

    Main Drivers for Commodity Prices

    Commodities main drivers for this year remain with existing inflationary trends, interest rates, the risk of an economic recession and direction in the US$ dollar.

    Double-digit inflation in some developing economic regions of the world has resulted in cap-ex reductions in key commodity areas. Especially, in developing nations, high single-digit inflation has increased fears of a recession this year, in 2023 – see fig #96. Fund managers were unanimous late last year (2022) that persistent inflationary pressures would trigger an economic downturn this year although declines in U.S. CPI from the June ’22 peak of 9.1% to 6.5% has given way to January’s optimism for a mild recession.

    ‘Goldilocks’ moment?

    Goldman Sachs analysts are epitomising that change into more optimistic sentiment. They say that commodities have the strongest outlook of any asset class in 2023, with a perfect macroeconomic environment and critically low inventories for almost every key raw material. They said that demand in China is starting to rebound and there’s insufficient investment in supply, meaning the year as a whole will be a ‘Goldilocks’ moment for rising prices.

    The Federal Reserve dot-plot

    The Federal Reserve dot-plot suggests the fed-funds rate will end up around 5.0% per cent. February’s next meeting suggests a slowing down in the pace of increases with the market expecting only 0.25% rate hike. Even so, rising rates remain in the background. The long-end of the interest rate curve, ten-year treasuries and bunds traded in Europe completed counter-trend 4th wave corrections into December’s lows. They’re already showing signs of heading higher. This is really important because if interest rates are set to resume higher, then it will be the major pain trade of the year because just about every bond trader is currently positioned for lower rates, not higher.

    The US$ Dollar

    One of the main contributing factors that’s expected to drive commodity prices higher over the next several years into an ‘inflation-pop’ peak is the weakening of the US$ dollar. There’s a distinct 15.6-year cycle recurrence for the US$ dollar index which has signalled the various peaks and troughs over the past several decades – see fig #105.
