Episode Description from the Publisher

Diesel prices breach six dollars a gallon as Washington weighs tax relief on red-dyed fuel, while a closed Strait of Hormuz cuts Qatari liquefied natural gas exports by ninety-six percent, sparking an intense scramble for replacement winter supplies across Europe and Asia. Concurrently, China's import basket maps an aggressive industrial realignment, absorbing a record two hundred and fifty million tons of bulk metals even as crude intake tumbles seventeen percent. Meanwhile, the White House unveils a fifteen-billion-dollar steel project in Iowa, European monitors slash maize yields by nine percent after scorching summer heatwaves, and persistent dry weather in Ivory Coast threatens early-year cocoa harvests.https://www.commoditiesinstitute.comFOLLOW US @commoditiesinstituteInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/commoditiesinstituteFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/61584221970761TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@commoditiesinstituteYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@commoditiesinstituteLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/commoditiesinstitute/Listen to the Podcast:Spotify Podcast - https://open.spotify.com/show/6eO2y40mmH5J8boeF0ANjJApple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-commodities-institute-podcast/id1826784341Commodities Market Oil Metals News Trading Agriculture Policy Politics Energy
