Looking at the trends of commodities over the past few decades, there is an interesting pattern that has always repeated—price increases never happen simultaneously but follow a fixed rhythm. Usually, gold will be the first to sound the alarm for a price increase, followed closely by silver without pause. Then copper prices start to stir, and aluminum prices follow suit. Once these metals have mostly moved, crude oil prices jump directly. After crude oil sets the trend, natural gas also rises along with it. In the end, agricultural products like soybeans and corn begin to chase the rally. This sequence has remained largely unchanged for decades, as if it is repeatedly orchestrated by some market force.
