Soft Commodities in Q1 2025- Where are they Heading in Q2?
Soft commodities were the best-performing sector of the asset class in 2024, posting an over 58% gain. They also led in 2023, with an over 24% increase. Over the past two years, cocoa, coffee, and frozen concentrated orange juice futures reached record highs, with cotton and sugar rising to multi-year highs. However, the cure for high commodity prices is those high prices, and the softs sector led the asset class on the downside in Q1 2025.
