  "account": "BNY analyst Geoff Yu notes that while a less hawkish Fed has weakened the dollar, this has not sparked a broad commodity rally. Institutional investors continue to sell metals and mining stocks, and emerging market commodity sovereign debt remains in trouble. The necessary growth catalyst is lacking: without robust global demand, especially from China, lower U.S. real yields alone are insufficient to sustain commodity-linked assets.",
  "summary": "Geoff Yu at BNY says a less hawkish Fed has weakened the Dollar, but this has not translated into a broad commodity rally. Institutional investors remain sellers of metals and miners, while EM commodity sovereign debt continues to struggle and commodity FX buying has faded.",
