The order of commodity price increases in 2026, a pattern that has never changed for decades!
1. Gold prices rise first
2. Silver follows suit
3. Copper prices increase, followed by aluminum
4. Crude oil prices follow
5. Natural gas prices rise
6. Soybeans, corn, and other agricultural products
The final price increase can be simplified and memorized as "Gold, Silver, Copper, Aluminum, Oil, Gas, Rice."
Of course, there will be sector linkages, for example, copper's rise will drive other non-ferrous metals, and others will follow this pattern, which may not be exactly the same and could show some divergence.
