Why Commodities Are Stealing the Spotlight
The first half of 2025 has seen a dramatic shift from tech to hard assets. Here’s what’s driving the rally:
Uranium (+12% YTD): Supply shortages worsened after Cameco reduced production targets, pushing spot prices to $106/lb—a 30% YTD gain.
Gold holds near $2,400/oz: Investors flock to safe havens as the Fed hints at September rate cuts (68% probability, per CME FedWatch).
Key Drivers:
- Geopolitical tensions: Escalating conflicts in resource-rich regions.
- Inflation hedge: Commodities outperform when rate cuts loom.
- Bitcoin correlation: Gold and BTC now move in tandem (R²=0.7 in 2025)
