Why will Commodities Boom next decade ?

Today’s Daily Byte

A good start to the month saw us bounce very strongly in the morning session, although we gave back most of those gains later in the day. Lingering concerns remain about external trade. Donald Trump came out today with a strong statement that any country buying from Iran will face sanctions. This is significant because India and China both buy oil from Iran.

The news from the White House continues to be conflicting. On one hand, there are reports that the USA and China may begin trade talks, which is positive. But then we have this warning on Iran, which adds to global uncertainty. A positive highlight today was the good GST collections, and foreign fund flows continue to come in. There was also news that for the first time in a very long time, the holding of Indian equities by domestic institutions has exceeded that of foreign investors, which is a great sign.

Slowly but steadily, confidence is returning to the market. The numbers are reasonably supporting the positive narrative. Today's main topic is: Will the dollar’s fall help India? We will explore the history, India’s past performance in similar conditions, and how the current scenario may impact us.

Gold Shines Bright in a Weak Currency World

As of 2025, global currencies have moved in different directions, and the performance chart shows some surprising trends. One of the most notable points is that the US Dollar Index has been the worst-performing among major currencies this year. It has weakened significantly.

India’s currency, the Rupee, stands somewhere in the middle—not strong, not too weak. The Japanese Yen has also shown signs of weakness. However, one asset stands out far ahead of others—gold. . . . .
