UBS Says a Major Commodity Upcycle Is Taking Shape

From OilPrice.com

One day after veteran commodities strategist Jeff Currie told investors to “get long and buckle up” for the next leg of the commodities rally, UBS strategist Sagar Khandelwal issued a similarly bullish call, urging clients to “position for a commodity upcycle.”

Khandelwal said electrification, surging power demand, artificial-intelligence infrastructure spending, persistent supply constraints, and years of underinvestment are converging to create a perfect storm for a sustained upcycle in hard assets.

Commodities can generate returns while protecting portfolios against energy disruptions and renewed inflation, he said. That defensive role becomes valuable when the toxic mixture starts hitting stocks and bonds.
