The Breakout in Natural Resources

Sector rotation is the lifeblood of bull markets.

It’s not just a saying, it's how markets actually move. Leadership changes, money rotates, and new groups emerge while others take a breather.

Right now, some of that strength is coming from Natural Resources.

This isn’t just about oil, gas, or metals. It’s a broad, global theme.

We’re talking chemicals, agricultural inputs, timber, fertilizer producers, and food-related commodities.

In other words, it’s a deeply diversified corner of the market tied directly to global demand and hard assets.

And after spending years going nowhere, these stocks are starting to wake up.

Here’s the Global Natural Resources ETF $GNR resolving higher from a massive, decade-long base:

The index is about 34% U.S., 20% Canada, roughly 25% Europe, 7% Australia, with the rest spread across other countries worldwide — a simple way to gain broad global exposure.

The size of this base points to a meaningful shift in supply-demand dynamics, which often signals the start of a sustained trend.

Just think about it. For 15 years, buyers couldn’t push prices above those former highs from 2011 and 2022. This time things are different; now they are willing to pay more at higher levels.
 
If GNR can hold above 65, a new structural uptrend would be underway — and in that scenario, it would be hard not to be participating.
