This year oil has taken a real hit, sliding roughly 20%. Meanwhile, the broader CRB Commodity Index? Up 10% excluding oil. So here's the fork in the road: either crude makes a massive comeback in 2026, or the rest of the commodity world gets hammered. I'm betting on oil staging a strong recovery. And honestly, what's happening with gold and silver gives me confidence. These metals just keep climbing, and that kind of momentum typically signals broader commodity strength ahead.
