At Any Rate

The war in the Middle East is reaching its three-week mark and commodities markets show no signs of easing. On the contrary, attacks on critical energy infrastructure have ramped up, while the remaining 3% of typical Hormuz traffic has shifted into Iranian waters. Elsewhere, Asia is beginning to show signs of demand destruction amid exploding products prices. In this episode, we summarize the week’s developments and highlight what the markets are missing in gas, oil and metals.

It has been two weeks since the start of the conflict in the Middle East and supply-side issues remain the top concern for commodity markets. In addition to shipping troubles, the region is also forced to halt production due to persistent infrastructure attacks and limited storage. While oil & gas dominate headlines, metals are also running into trouble. In today’s episode, we summarize everything you need to know about metals markets, as well digest developments in oil.
