Commodity Prices Tumble Amid Higher Interest Rates

Commodity prices are under scrutiny as global markets adjust to higher interest rates and elevated bond yields. Vandana Bharti, Head of Commodity Research at SMC Global Securities, explains how these factors will impact commodity prices in the short and medium term. She notes that crude oil has seen a sharp rally due to supply disruptions and geopolitical risks.

According to Bharti, gold may remain supported by central bank buying, ETF flows, and safe-haven demand despite higher rates. However, she also warns of key levels to watch for WTI and Brent crude. On silver, Bharti shares her outlook through 2026, including MCX and COMEX levels.

The latest US Fed rate hike has led to concerns about the impact on commodity prices. Vandana Bharti believes that the rally in crude oil may continue due to supply disruptions and geopolitical tensions. She advises investors to keep an eye on key levels for WTI and Brent crude, which she shares in her analysis.

The outlook for gold and silver remains uncertain as global markets adjust to higher interest rates. Vandana Bharti's analysis suggests that gold may remain supported by central bank buying and safe-haven demand, but warns of the risks associated with higher rates.
