Summary

Dr. Mark Thornton argues that a broad commodity supercycle has commenced, driven by fundamental supply disruptions and tightening production constraints.

Global commodity inventories are being drawn down, creating underlying price pressure that is likely to accelerate rapidly under macroeconomic stress.

Gold is highlighted as a leading indicator in this cycle, suggesting early strategic positioning in precious metals ahead of broader resource moves.
