Recent events in commodity markets show how Federal Reserve decisions impact the entire commodity ecosystem. Investor reactions to a more hawkish stance from Jerome Powell led to significant sell-offs in oil, gold, and silver, indicating increased risk aversion. A rising dollar added pressure, making commodities more expensive for foreign buyers. Experts caution against viewing these moves as a structural market shift, suggesting they are temporary corrections rather than fundamental changes. Despite current turbulence, long-term forecasts remain optimistic, particularly for gold.
