Episode Description from the Publisher

Washington delivers a 120-million-barrel emergency diesel ultimatum to Europe as Asian gasoline cracks surge to an all-time record of $50.53 a barrel and spot LNG above $25 per MMBtu drives emerging Asian power grids back to coal. Concurrently, gold defends the $4,000 threshold against multi-decade high Treasury yields behind structural de-dollarization demand, while Bank of America raises its long-term copper projection to $13,577 per metric ton. Across agricultural and maritime freight channels, Saudi Arabia tenders for 535,000 metric tons of wheat routed strictly to Red Sea ports to avoid Persian Gulf blockades, while El Niño disruptions and Black Sea port strikes push Indonesian rice and global vegetable oils toward severe multi-year deficits. 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
