2026 Macro Outlook: Hard Assets Take the Lead Entering 2026, the macro environment favors hard assets and commodities driven by lower rate expectations, geopolitical risks, and structural demand from AI, electrification, and green transformation. In 2025, precious metals and copper outperformed Bitcoin and equities. For 2026, the focus shifts to percentage upside, not absolute prices. 2026 upside potential: Copper > Silver > Bitcoin > Gold Copper: Core beneficiary of the AI + electrification super-cycle, facing the most severe supply shortages. Silver: Dual demand (industrial + safe haven) makes it more dynamic than gold. Bitcoin: High beta asset with explosive potential, but outcomes depend on risk sentiment and adoption. Gold: Most defensive hedge, stable but limited upside. Big picture: Market consensus remains constructive on hard assets in 2026. Physical supply constraints may matter more than narratives. Scarcity of resources may outperform scarcity of code. #HardAssets #MacroCycle #Gate广场创作者新春激励

2026 Macro Outlook: Hard Assets Take the Lead
Entering 2026, the macro environment favors hard assets and commodities driven by lower rate expectations, geopolitical risks, and structural demand from AI, electrification, and green transformation.
In 2025, precious metals and copper outperformed Bitcoin and equities. For 2026, the focus shifts to percentage upside, not absolute prices.
2026 upside potential:
Copper > Silver > Bitcoin > Gold
Copper: Core beneficiary of the AI + electrification super-cycle, facing the most severe supply shortages.
Silver: Dual demand (industrial + safe haven) makes it more dynamic than gold.
Bitcoin: High beta asset with explosive potential, but outcomes depend on risk sentiment and adoption.
Gold: Most defensive hedge, stable but limited upside.
Big picture: Market consensus remains constructive on hard assets in 2026. Physical supply constraints may matter more than narratives.
Scarcity of resources may outperform scarcity of code.
