In fact, there is a hidden pattern behind the price increases of major commodities. In each cycle, the order of price rises is basically fixed: the first phase sees gold, silver, and other precious metals increase; the second phase involves industrial metals like copper and aluminum; the third phase is crude oil and natural gas. The final stage includes agricultural products such as soybeans and wheat. One follows another. You can review the past cycles to verify this logic. After the internet bubble in 2001, gold bottomed out and led the rally in April 2001, copper gained momentum at the end of 2003, crude oil rose from 30 to 147 between 2002-2008, and agricultural products only took off in 2007. After the 2008 financial crisis, gold stabilized in March 2009 and entered a major upward wave, copper took over in early 2009, crude oil surged from 32 to over 100, and agricultural products gained momentum in mid-2010. Post-2020 pandemic, gold started rising in June 2019, copper reversed V-shaped in March 2020, crude oil jumped from negative prices to 120, and agricultural products ignited in early 2021. Why does this sequence occur? It’s simple—because they perceive the economy at different speeds. Essentially, financial expectations lead the first wave, industrial expectations follow in the second, and actual consumption comes third. Terminal inflation first pushes gold and then silver, copper takes off, aluminum follows, and smaller metals like tin, cobalt, and lithium become even more frantic. The trend ends with steel. $btc $gold
