HSBC: The global commodities market is in a "super squeeze"
HSBC released a research report stating that the global commodity market is entering a "super squeeze" situation dominated by supply disruptions. It noted that if the Strait of Hormuz remains substantially closed for an extended period, global commodity inventories will be rapidly depleted, and some varieties may approach critical price turning points.
The report pointed out that the Middle East conflict has impacted aluminum smelting capacity, pushing aluminum prices to a four-year high; copper prices are mainly supported by a recovery in end-user demand, nearing $14,000 per ton. HSBC also mentioned that the supply of crude oil, liquefied natural gas, agricultural products, and industrial metals is facing tightening pressures.
