A severe supply shock in aluminum markets, a near shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz, and rising oil prices are rippling across global commodities. This episode explores how energy disruptions are accelerating biofuel demand, pressuring agricultural markets, and reshaping planting decisions in the U.S. Meanwhile, logistical bottlenecks in Argentina and the restart of the Druzhba pipeline add further complexity to an already strained global system. 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/@commoditiesinstituteListen 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
