Quick Take

"Natural resources are at historic undervaluation as the fourth major commodity bear market in 125 years nears its end. The proposed Mar-a-Lago Accords signal an imminent monetary regime shift that will trigger the next bull cycle."

Executive Summary

Goehring & Rozencwajg argue that commodities are as undervalued relative to stocks as they have ever been in 125 years, marking the fourth such episode that historically preceded major bull markets. They believe the proposed Mar-a-Lago Accords represent an imminent shift in the global monetary regime that will trigger the next commodity cycle, similar to how the abandonment of the gold standard in 1929, collapse of Bretton Woods in 1968, and Asian currency crisis in 1997 ended previous bear markets. The current carry regime built on leverage and suppressed volatility faces unwinding as tomorrow no longer resembles yesterday. Oil is extraordinarily cheap relative to gold, U.S. shale production is declining, natural gas faces structural deficits, and nuclear power is experiencing renaissance driven by AI data center demand. Agricultural markets are tightening after USDA yield revisions, while gold signals monetary stress through central bank accumulation. The authors position natural resource equities as the primary hedge against carry regime collapse, offering true diversification when traditional asset classes fail simultaneously.
