Soybean Oil Has Moved As Much Since the Beginning of 2026Soybean Oil FuturesCBOT_DL:ZL1!konhowMy Long-Term Trajectory for Commodities. It all started years ago when I began investing in gold. Back then, I believed that global money printing was unsustainable and that precious metals were effective inflation-hedge assets. Inflation, in my view, would inevitably escalate over time. Then came 2022, when US CPI hit a high of 9%. That was when gold began drawing stronger attention from central banks and investors. Another belief of mine is that gold is the leader of commodities. As long as gold remains elevated, it suggests that the fight against inflation is far from over. Looking at the current situation, QE and money printing are unlikely to ease. Therefore, the risk of higher inflation is still in play, reinforcing the case for commodities as an inflation hedge. The rest of the commodities should move according to their own timing and underlying catalysts. Commodity ratios have been helpful for me in rotating — cashing out of one and moving into another. From gold/silver spread to gold/platinum to gold/copper to gold/oil to gold/uranium... While many are focusing on crude oil due to tensions in the Middle East, I’ve noticed that among the more popular oil markets, soybean oil has been moving much higher than the others. Could soybean oil be the next to move along with crude oil after precious metals?
