EU Steel Tariffs Hit Ukraine, US Crude Drops 3.3M Bbls & Fertilizer Up 55%

from The Commodities Institute Podcast · host The Commodities Institute

In today’s episode, we break down the unintended consequences of geopolitical conflict across global commodity supply chains. We analyze the EU’s controversial 50% tariff on excess steel threatening Ukraine’s war-torn industry, and unpack the FTC's probe into a 55% surge in fertilizer prices choking US farmers. Plus, discover how changing weather and shipping costs are forcing Brazil to pivot its wheat freight away from Argentina, why Russia is financing a massive $16.5 billion nuclear plant in Kazakhstan, and how smaller oil producers like Brunei and Gabon are cashing in on the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.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
