HSBC's chief economist Paul Bloxham described global commodity markets as being in a "super squeeze," primarily driven by supply constraints, as quoted on CNBC.

The US Dollar Index has strengthened, which is bearish for dollar-denominated commodities. Inflation is forecasted to be low, with a 10-year expected inflation breakeven rate under 2.2%, another bearish macro data point for the commodity index. US real GDP growth is expected to slow in the first half of 2024, impacting commodity prices, though tensions in the Middle East are possible upside catalysts for commodities.

The United States Commodity Index Fund is our preferred commodity ETF, followed by the iShares GSCI Commodity Dynamic Roll Strategy ETF. COMT is an optimized commodity ETF that maximizes roll yields by selecting commodities and futures contracts with strong backwardation or mild contango. COMT has outperformed GSG and USCI since its inception, with lower volatility and a similar commodity exposure as GSG.

Commodities have not performed well as a safe haven investment compared to equities, particularly tech-growth stocks. The iShares GSCI Commodity Dynamic Roll Strategy ETF has seen mixed inflows and outflows over the past 3 years. The performance of COMT is heavily influenced by energy prices and oil & gas stocks, with the top holdings being in the energy sector.

COMT is a commodity ETF that gains exposure to the commodity markets through futures contracts. It has a structure that allows it to avoid being taxed as a commodity fund and distributing a K-1.

2022 has been good for commodities. 2023 should mark the transition to a new energy order. Europe seems to have passed its first cold spell in this winter. But more challenges await. The Russia-Ukraine war and the European winter is structurally changing the game for commodities.

The year 2022 has been awful to Wall Street. But these ETF areas -- energy, commodities, dividends, defensive ETFs and rate hedge ETFs -- emerged winners.

After a decade of underperformance, commodities are experiencing a huge rally due to the Russia-Ukraine war, sky-high inflation, pent-up demand after the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread vaccination.

COMT does well to reduce rolling risk and has a good track record of outperforming the Bloomberg Commodity Index. Underlying conditions in the commodity space look vulnerable.

Russia is on its way to ban commodity exports as retaliation to Western sanctions. This is going to prolong the commodity market rally.
