Blue Line FuturesGold/Silver: Get your 2021 on track
2021 is finally here, and I am going to keep this note short and sweet. The markets look to be setting up for another parabolic move higher. From an economic standpoint, we should see growth continue to accelerate, inflation to grind higher, and the FED to remain accommodative. That combination should prove supportive for a wide range of commodities leaving year over year demand growth to outstrip supply.
As of the time of this writing, some of the standout "year to date" performance figures for commodities are Lumber +67%, Silver +47%, Soybeans +37%, Palladium +28%, Copper +25%, Gold +24%, Sugar +15% and Platinum +10%. The worst four performers are Gasoline -17%, WTI Crude Oil -21%, Brent Crude Oil -22%, and finally Heating Oil -27%. Heating Oil acts as a proxy for diesel fuel and bunker fuel, and with the global economy coming to a screeching halt, these commodities could be the best performers once a reopening happens.
