from The Commodities Institute Podcast · host The Commodities Institute

In today’s briefing, we analyze the profound ripple effects of the ongoing Middle East conflict across the global commodities spectrum. We unpack how soaring aluminum prices are threatening the U.S. solar buildout, why the domestic Jones Act waiver is failing to curb high gasoline prices, and the shifting dynamics in global dry freight as Indian rice exports slump. Plus, a look at record-breaking sugar yields in Brazil and the looming U.S. tariffs reshaping the copper trade.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
