Goldman Sachs maintained an overweight call on commodities, arguing that prices usually rally as the Fed enters hiking cycles and rising Chinese rates coincide with better performance. The bank flagged three risks: U.S. shale oil's faster supply response, diminishing Chinese demand, and the Fed's gradual hiking path.
Goldman's view favors firmer commodity prices over the coming year, but the shale and China risks could cap gains in energy and industrial-linked markets that feed into feed input costs.
