January 2026: When "Real Assets" Regain Their Prestige

The year 2026 began with a clear message to anyone who believes markets are moving in a straight line.

While everyone was betting on the continuation of the tech and digital currency boom,
"Commodities" decided to remind us that they are the safe haven and foundation.

Crude oil (WTI) led the performance chart with an increase of over 14%,
followed by silver and gold with strong gains.

This rise is not just about green numbers,
but a signal of liquidity flowing into hedging against currency volatility and erosion of purchasing power,

especially with the dollar index declining by 1.2%.

On the other hand, a different scene is unfolding on the other side of the market;
where digital currencies (Bitcoin and Ethereum) experienced sharp declines exceeding 10% and 17%, respectively.

Even the "Magnificent Seven" (Mag 7) in US stocks did not escape correction,

leading to weaker performance of US stock indices compared to emerging markets, which jumped by 8.9%.

The lesson learned:
Markets do not forgive those who put all their eggs in the "momentum" basket.

Diversification is not just an academic advice,
but the only safety shield.

We are witnessing a restructuring of global wealth,

where trust is shifting from overinflated digital and tech assets
to commodities and emerging markets that have been forgotten for a long time.

The smart investor does not chase prices,
but monitors liquidity flows before they become old news.

How do you feel about commodities outperforming digital currencies at the start of this year?
Do you think this trend will continue?
