Is the long term trend higher?
Good question. Energy - yes. Globalization (especially nat gas) and new products make long term positive. Ags & metals - kind of. Long term driver is greater demand for crops/food. Financials - unclear. Low rates for longer muddies the outlook but new products could offset.

If volatility were to spike, would these stocks rally? They fell in March along with everything else.

Theres a difference bw “good volatility” (prices move and key customers make money) and “bad volatility” (prices move and key customers lose a lot of money). Bad volatility hurts exchanges future volumes. March was bad volatility.
