Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Commodity prices saw an upward trend last month, as the Fed continued rate cuts and the trade tensions between the US and China eased, while geopolitical risks continue to be a determinant in price trajectory.<\/p>\n

Gold climbed 3.7% last month, hitting a record of $4,381.55 per ounce, while silver rose 4.3% to an all-time high of $54.7 per ounce. Platinum saw its highest level since February 2013 at $1,734 per ounce.<\/p>\n

The US Dollar Index\u2019s recovery and the investor shift towards profit-taking led gold to decline from record highs, while the search for safe-haven assets, strong industrial demand, and the ongoing supply shortage pushed up silver, and declining production supported platinum.<\/p>\n

Aluminum rose 7.8% due to increased use in the global green transition and rapidly rising demand for its use in renewable energy and electric transportation, while zinc climbed 3.4% due to declining stocks on the London Metal Exchange. Copper rose 5.3% and lead 1.8% per pound, while nickel fell 0.3%.<\/p>\n

Natural gas surged 24.9% amid supply shortage concerns in northern regions as temperatures dropped since winter started, while Brent crude oil fell 2.2%.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, soybeans increased 11.3% per bushel following the meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping. Wheat rose 5.1% per bushel due to increased Chinese demand, corn climbed 3.9%, led by the rise in soybeans, and rice fell 8.1%.<\/p>\n

Coffee hit a historic high of $4.3795 per pound, rising 4.6% throughout the month due to supply concerns, expected tariffs on Colombia, and declining coffee stocks. Sugar had its lowest since October 2020 at $0.1407 per pound, falling 14% on strong production estimates in Brazil, Thailand, and India.<\/p>\n

Ole Hansen, head of commodity strategy at Saxo Capital, told Anadolu that gold\u2019s \u201cextraordinary rally\u201d had entered a cooling.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile near-term momentum has stalled, the fundamental reasons for holding gold remain intact\u2014only the timing of the next advance, in our opinion, is uncertain,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Hansen stated that despite Fed Chair Jerome Powell\u2019s current cautious stance, macro data show the next move of the bank will be towards easing.<\/p>\n

\u201cA softening US labor market and slowing nominal growth will likely bring additional cuts into 2026, setting the stage for renewed gold strength,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cCentral banks, led by emerging-market institutions seeking reserve diversification, are maintaining a strong appetite for bullion,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
