CITIC Securities predicts that despite fluctuations in precious metal prices leading to a cooling of investment sentiment, the enthusiasm for commodity investments will continue to rise through 2026. Precious metals and crude oil benefit from safe-haven demand, while the fundamentals for lithium carbonate and nickel are positive. Copper and aluminum face short-term pressure but are optimistic in the medium to long term.

Abstract generation in progress

CITIC Securities stated that since 2026, the enthusiasm for commodity investment has continued to rise. Although there was a cooling of investment sentiment caused by sharp fluctuations in precious metal prices, under the influence of risk aversion, improved fundamentals, and strategic reserves, we expect commodities to remain a preferred investment direction in 2026. From the perspective of risk hedging and dollar risk offset, precious metals and crude oil are expected to benefit; from the fundamental perspective, the improving trend of lithium carbonate and nickel is clear; industrial metals such as copper and aluminum face short-term demand pressure, but the medium- to long-term logic remains solid. Industries like silicon materials, coal, and steel continue to be affected by anti-inflation policies, and their price trends await policy guidance and fundamental support.
