In the good old days, you didnât have to take out a second mortgage just to build a back deck. But in early 2021, lumber prices in the U.S. hit a new all-time high: $1,300 per 1,000 board feet. That was up from $300 per 1,000 board feet, the âusualâ price. And more than double prices from just four months earlier. Itâs a classic example of supply and demand. People staying home in 2020 spent their time on home renovation projects, sending demand for building supplies through the roof (pun intended). At the same time, COVID-19 affected supply chains worldwide, forcing lumber mills to slow production or even close. When the spike in demand met the drop in supply... prices skyrocketed. Itâs a universal, irreversible lawâlike the law of gravity. If youâre paying close attention to the commodity market, youâve seen the very beginning of something much, much bigger. Whatâs unfolding right now wonât just make building a tree fort more expensive. It will have huge, global impactsânot only for this year, but potentially for the next decade. - Weâre on the verge of a commodity super cycle.
A super cycle is an extended period of time when nearly all commodity prices rise dramatically and remain high. Super cycles generally occur during periods of rapid industrialization. The driver for the coming super cycle will be very different than any that came before. Itâs not just the post-pandemic boom, although that has had some effects.
- The catalyst for the greatest commodities boom of our generation will be the new Green Economy.
Let me give you just one example. There are a billion combustion-engine vehicles in the world. By the end of the decade, one in seven of those will be electric. India... Iceland... England... Germany... all plan to eliminate gas-powered car sales by 2030. Norway has pledged to do so by 2025âjust four years away. And weâre at the very beginning of that trend.
- By 2040, 60% of car sales will be electric vehicles. All of those cars will require huge amounts of metals like nickel and copper. And thatâs just transportation... what about clean energy? All of this is setting the stage for surging demand for commodities over the next few years. Imagine if you had invested in a lumber mill in early 2020! You can do the same thing this year, only with the commodities super cycle of a lifetime. Weâve identified a small mining company that has purchased swaths of land around a former producing Canadian mine. They were looking for gold... but they hit paydirt with other metals. They found huge quantities of zinc, copper, and silver. To put it into perspective 10% zinc would be considered high grade. They found upwards of 20% zinc...alongside the gold. Now theyâre in the middle of a 20,000-meter drilling programâjust when the super cycle is getting started. If youâre ready for the ride of a lifetime, take a few minutes and read our [REPORT]( on [Starr Peak Mining (TSX-V: STE | OTC: STRPF)]( today. Regards,
