# Why the commodity rally will get back on track | Wood Mackenzie

> Wood Mackenzie says commodity indices have risen about 50% since early 2016, driven by global growth that reached a six-year high of 3.1% in Q4 2017. The analysis links commodity prices to the US dollar, which had started weakening from a 15-year high.
