受乌克兰危机、疫情、美联储紧缩性货币政策和全球经济放缓的叠加影响,国际大宗商品价格在过去的一年中走出先上涨后回调的行情。2021年8月至2022年3月,前期投资不足和乌克兰危机等供给端因素推动大宗商品价格强劲上涨,涨幅达50%;2022年4~7月,受美联储加息和全球经济放缓预期强化的影响,工业金属、食品价格分别下跌26%、10%。2022年第四季度至2023年,预计大宗商品价格总体上将波动下行,但不存在大幅下跌的基础。其中,能源价格将受俄欧能源脱钩、碳中和行动及极端气候等因素的影响而波动加剧,先在冬季用能高峰阶段有一定的上涨空间,后因经济增速放缓和能源需求疲软而出现回调,原油中枢价格将可能降至每桶90美元左右。能源转型金属价格将因碳中和行动而得到长期支撑,铁矿石价格可能因中国需求温和反弹而趋稳。粮食价格将高位震荡,低收入国家的粮食危机可能会加剧。
<<Affected by Russia-Ukraine conflict,the epidemic,and the slowdown of global economy,commodity prices have experienced a downward trend after continuing the upward trend in the past year. Taking the Russian-Ukrainian conflict as the dividing point,commodity prices continued their strong upward trend from August 2021 to March 2022,with an increase of 50% on average. But since then,the prices of non-energy commodities started to fall back. Because of the Fed rate hike and a worsening prospect for the global economy,prices of industrial metals and food fell by 26% and 10% respectively,during April-July 2022. From 2022Q4 to 2023,commodity prices are expected to fluctuate downwards,but there is no room for a sharp drop. Energy prices will be more volatile due to the decoupling of Russian and European energy trade,carbon neutrality actions and extreme climate factors. Oil price may settle higher during periods of peak power demand in winter,and then fall around US $90/barrel due to the economic slowdown prospect and weak energy demand. Energy transition metals have the potential for long-term growth due to carbon neutrality policies,and iron ore price is expected to stabilize as China’s demand to rebound modestly. Food prices will be highly volatile and intensify the food crisis in low-income economies.
