🚀 Commodities to Outshine Stocks Amid Geopolitical and Economic Turmoil, Says Bank of America Strategist Bank of America strategist Michael Hartnett has indicated that investors should pivot towards the commodities market in the coming years, as this asset class is poised to benefit from global geopolitical and macroeconomic instability. According to Jin10, the ongoing Middle East conflicts and the race in artificial intelligence have heightened concerns over supply chains. Governments worldwide are striving to curb the soaring prices of energy and other natural resources, which impact industries and consumers, while also ensuring the supply of critical minerals like rare earths, essential for manufacturing and technology. Hartnett suggests that for the remainder of this decade, commodities will replace stocks as the primary choice for investors seeking to hedge against risks, inflation, and a weakening dollar. This shift is expected as investors move away from equities in favor of commodities, which are anticipated to become the biggest winners in the "buy anything but bonds" trade. The strategist also notes that excessive fiscal expansion could lead to more frequent bear market rallies in government bonds rather than sustained bull markets. #Commodities#Stocks#Geopolitics#Macroeconomics#Investment#Inflation#Energy#RareEarths#SupplyChain#AI#FiscalPolicy#MarketTrends

🚀 Australia Delays Resource and Energy Report Amid Volatility Australia's government has postponed the release of its 'Resources and Energy Quarterly' report due to extreme volatility caused by the U.S. and Israel's conflict with Iran, according to a government spokesperson on Friday. The report, initially scheduled for release at the end of March, will now be published by the end of June. According to Jin10, the report, issued by the Office of the Chief Economist, provides a three two-year outlook and a five-year macroeconomic forecast for the country's major mineral and energy exports. It typically includes historical, current, and projected export volumes and values of key commodities, analyzing global demand drivers and new demand sources. These forecasts are crucial for the federal budget, which is expected to be released in May. Recent surges in oil prices are anticipated to significantly boost Australia's liquefied natural gas (LNG) revenue, as over 75% of LNG exports are linked to oil prices with a typical lag of three to six months. Remaining spot cargoes are being sold at record prices, although rising diesel prices are increasing production costs for some miners. The revenue surge has led some groups to call for a 25% tax on LNG 'windfall profits.' Last month, reports indicated that the country's treasury was examining related tax measures, but the government has yet to confirm any plans. #Australia#Energy#Resources#LNG#OilPrices#Economy#Government#Export#Commodities#Forecast#Macroeconomics#Tax

🚀 Mizuho Securities: Government Subsidies to Mitigate Japan's Energy Cost Impact Amid Middle East Conflict Mizuho Securities economists have indicated that despite the significant upward pressure on oil prices due to the Middle East conflict, government subsidies are expected to largely offset the impact on Japan's energy costs. According to Jin10, the economists noted that the effects on commodities, particularly food, will gradually become apparent, with inflation in these categories anticipated to peak between the spring and summer of 2027, implying a lag of four to six quarters. They further stated that due to the expected time required for securing the safety of the Strait of Hormuz and the full normalization of transportation, crude oil prices are likely to remain high in the short term. #Japan#EnergyCosts#MiddleEastConflict#OilPrices#GovernmentSubsidies#Inflation#Commodities#StraitOfHormuz#CrudeOil#EconomicImpact#MizuhoSecurities
