Transformations in Global Commodity Prices: What Are the Growth Opportunities?

Expected Short-term Commodity Price Declines Could Reverse if Trump 2.0 Policies Lead to Potential Oversupply

The global commodity landscape is entering a critical transformation phase. Over the next five years, industries will be profoundly influenced by intensifying geopolitical tensions, rising trade protectionism, and rapid technological shifts. From sanctions on Russian energy to Red Sea shipping chokepoints, supply chain disruptions are fuelling volatility. Simultaneously, policies like US metal tariffs and China’s export controls on critical minerals are redrawing trade maps in real time.

Amid this turbulence, businesses are diversifying their sourcing strategies, locking in long-term supply contracts, and embedding advanced technologies to build resilience. As the push toward a low-carbon future gains momentum, surging demand for lithium, copper, and rare earths is disrupting traditional pricing structures—impacting sectors from renewables to semiconductors.
