Get a free portfolio review with Wealthion’s endorsed financial advisors: https://bit.ly/4dVKEJl “Every commodity now is critical.” Nations are finding they need more across the board... and they can't be without them. In this conversation with Maggie Lake, Peter Boockvar, CIO of OnePoint BFG Wealth Partners, explains why the global economy has entered a new structural regime—one defined by persistent inflation, elevated commodity prices, and higher-for-longer interest rates. Following geopolitical disruptions and supply chain shocks, Boockvar argues that countries are shifting toward stockpiling and resource security, driving a long-term repricing across energy, metals, and critical materials. Even if prices pull back in the short term, the underlying trend remains intact. He also warns that markets may be underestimating the consequences: if inflation remains sticky and commodities stay elevated, interest rates may not fall as expected, creating pressure across equities, housing, and credit.
